For our first meeting of the year I am inviting all past, present, and new members to my place for an informal afternoon of discussion.

Main focus is: What are we about? What do we want to do? And how do we go about it?

I have suggested this because I feel we need to regroup and set course again.

If you are interested in taking action to help reduce climate change and also to help prepare our community for it, then please come along. New members most welcome, as are all our past members. Bring some nibblies if you wish.

When: 2.00 pm, Sunday 6 March 2011

Where: 100 Biddles Rd, Skenes Ck

Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Magaer Lennox

Chairperson

Don’t forget ORCA will be holding their Annual General Meeting at Marrar Woorn at 6.30pm this Wednesday 1 December.
We invite ORCA members to come earlier for an informal end of year get-together from 5.30 pm – same place – Marrar Woorn. BYO food /drinks

For those interested we have another Food Forum planned to continue on with our discussions. At our last meeting we decided we would put a survey out to gauge people’s interest in CSA – Community Supported Agriculture. At this meeting we will be finalising the survey.
So come along if you would like to have some input. This will also be our last meeting for the year – so we just might end up down the pub afterwards. Bring some nibbles for the meeting too!
Where: Marrar Woorn
When: 7.00 pm, Wednesday 1 December
