News from the CCA Steering Group

17 June 2008

We have now met three times since the AGM held in February this year, meeting approximately every 6 weeks. We have had a full agenda of topics to discuss, and have already had a change of Chair; as reported in a previous newsletter.

The main issues taking up our time are:

  • CCA leaflet: we are in the process of producing a new leaflet for CCA, which will include details of all the sub-groups and unlike previous ones, will have an insert for forthcoming events so the leaflet will not go out of date so quickly. It will also be in full colour - look out for this. 

  • CCA website: after the initial Google site, it has been a priority to get a complete web-site set up. Having now found a volunteer to create one, it is now in the process of being built. Details will be announced in a future newsletter when ready. It will also have the potential to have a lot more links, and will be updated on a regular basis. 

  • Transition Town: as seen in the previous newsletter, we our now part of the Transition Towns Network after completing the paperwork and formalities. Charles and Linda also attended the TT Forum and Gerald the TT Network Liaison meeting. 

  • CCA Sub-groups: the SG is keen to support and liase with all of the sub-groups, and Linda has offered to take on this role. Each group co-ordinator is invited to report on activities, and also attend a SG meeting in turn. An interesting report on the Energy Group's activites was delivered at the last meeting. 

  • Strategy: this has been under discussion, and initial ideas will be a major part of the next meeting in July, prior to an event being held in September for all CCA members.

Other more mundane items on adoption of the CCA Constitution, setting up a bank account and funding have also been discussed.

If any CCA member has an issue they feel the Steering Group should be discussing, please contact me and we can put it on the Agenda for a forthcoming meeting.
