Review of Annual General Meeting to
Methodist Church, High Street, Crediton
About 20 members were in attendance.
Linda Lever, one of the founder members, summarised the first
year's activities, which have been impressive. They have
included the organisation of 8 environmental film showings and
talks, 3 social events, the very successful Energy Day
in November and Open
Space Day in February, and a high degree of exposure in the
local press. In addition we now have more than 200 recognised
CCA supporters and 9 action groups focusing on topics related to peak oil and climate change.
Not bad for a group formed out of the chance meeting of two people
on the bus from Crediton to Exeter in Jan 2007!!
At the meeting those present looked forward
to where we go from here and, as part of preparing to become a
Transition
Town in the near future, adopted a formal constituition and
elected a 12 person Steering Group for 2008/9.
The new Steering
Group holds its first meeting this week. Plans for 2008/9 will
be discussed and officer roles agreed. We will report more details
in coming newsletters.
