Announcing a Special Meeting of Sustainable Charlbury - 6 September, The Bell

[t...@tjwmedia.com]

The next meeting of Sustainable Charlbury will be at 8pm Monday 6
September. We really hope you can make it to this very special
meeting.

Not just that we'll be reinvigorated after the summer break - but
having done so much to raise awareness this year locally, it's time to
make plans for action!

SusCha has been successful in awareness raising activities of
sustainability issues, but has lacked resources to develop projects
that would achieve tangible change.

Last year we applied for significant funding to the Dept. of Energy
Low Carbon Communities Challenge for local projects. Hook Norton were
winners of this funding, but because of government delays in actually
making the money available, are running short of time to allocate the
grant they were awarded. There may therefore be an opportunity to
revive our plans in the SusCha application.

We've invited Tim Lunel and Charlie Luxton (the architectural designer
and broadcaster) from Hook Norton to speak to us about their project
so far and talk about opportunities for grant funding.

We want to involve as many people as possible in the lead up to a
planned announcement in late October. Time is therefore short for
Charlbury to realise its plans to benefit the local community. We
really hope to benefit from your input.

We've booked a bigger room than usual - the Cornbury Room (behind The
Bell) - so remember to arrive early.

Check the redesigned Sustainable Charlbury website for updates and we
look forward to seeing you there.
