Dear all,
This is an invitation to join one of four small groups of people who are going to really make something happen in Abingdon, and about something you care about.
The BikeWeek Group did a fantastic job this summer of making us visible in town, and getting people to think about using their bikes more instead of their cars. The model that really worked was of a group which decides when, where and how often to meet to suit themselves, and keeps in touch by email in between.
If you have enthusiasm and/or expertise to bring to any of the groups below, (you don't need both!!), GET IN TOUCH WITH THE CONVENER to express an interest, and try to get to the first meeting, where the future meeting times and places will be decided. You are not committing yourself at this stage!
Energy Group: practical ways of helping people save energy; and how about a mini hydro in Abingdon?
