12. Manchester People First
Manchester People First will be around to get your thoughts and ideas on what you think of services in your area. 
We would like to get as many of your thoughts down as possible about what is good and what is not so good so the bosses know what you think.

13. Manchester People First
These will be written down in speech bubbles so the big bosses can see and read them when they come to conference on Thursday. Lancashire, Greater Manchester and Cheshire, Warrington, Wirral and Merseyside will use different coloured paper so you can find out easily what people in your area think.
