1) Response to first meeting 19.6.19
- There was an extremely positive response to the first meeting with 30 attendees.
- Subsequent interest has continued with a total of 60 email addresses on our mailing list already.
- It was proposed that the neighbouring district was considered in the name.
- It was also proposed that our purpose was clear within the name to support grant applications.
- “Tideswell and District Environment Group” was proposed and accepted.
- It was suggested that we didn’t abbreviate the name of the group.
- Howard Crowe kindly sent a wide range of alternative logos which he offered to work on further if requested. Thanks to Howard for his work.
- One option based on the design and colouring of Tideswell church clock was favoured with a request to make it more visible. Further proof(s) to be circulated by email prior to the next steering group meeting.
- It was suggested that the steering group would be available to the project groups for support in areas such as ratifying grant applications, publicising, coordinating and arranging events.
- Ideally, representatives of each project group would be on the steering group.
- These meetings might need to be quite regular as the group sets up, perhaps every 4-6 weeks.
- As much as possible, correspondence and actions to be carried out by email or via tidzaeg@gmail.com.
