Save Frenchwood Rec - Save The Ribble!

Atlantic Salmon, 04-09-2006 19:17

Minutes of Manchester NO2ID Meeting, Wednesday 16th August 2006

Dave Page, 29-08-2006 23:48

This month, Manchester NO2ID had our first meeting at the wheelchair-accessible Friends Meeting House. It was very packed and busy, perhaps too busy since we didn't have much time for our usual chat and digression. At the next meeting, rather than first reviewing the previous meeting's minutes then recapping when we go through the agenda, I will simply place ongoing activities on the new agenda so we can get through it more quickly.

This isn't the exact order in which matters were discussed; I have re-ordered things a little to make it easier to follow. I have included some updates since the meeting, which was now a fortnight ago! Also, I have put links at the end of each section rather than at the very bottom. Dates for the diaries will follow shortly. Read more | 3 comments >>
