0 Action by
1 Minutes of last meeting already circulated. Review of action taken.
2 Campaign for Sustainable Communities Bill: brought to Group's attention.
3 Money Matters: a number of cheques to deposit: Hilary to deliver them to Debbie.
Because of Treasurer's absence, reimbursement of expenses held over till next meeting.
4 CARGO report submitted by Chrys. Proposed by Stephen, seconded by Chrys and Resolved that
we ask the Bank to change the name of the account from "Hull Friends of the Earth allotments"
to "Hull Friends of the Earth Cargo", and Chrys Bavey to replace Arthur Wood as one of the
signatories.
5 Hilary had arranged meeting with Doug Sharp; transport arrangements; discussion of points
to be raised.
6 Green Fair report; kitchen successful, stall went well, good profit overall. Next one in May.
7 Marist Hall: inform that January benefit is for RU, not HFoE
8 Christmas Meal at Hitchcock's: people to book individually. Sue send reminder.
9 Proposal to acquire new vehicle shared with Recycling Unlimited. Given present hidden
subsidies to HFoE milk float, sharing a vehicle could raise problems. A joint venture would
be too complicated. In any case, a new vehicle would pre-empt any decisions on the future
of the scheme.
10 Incinerators: what to do? Oppose on a site by site basis, involving or cooperating with
local residents. Run through arguments, alternative methods for dealing with waste.
11 Report on David's tree-planting: successful and good publicity in local paper, and mentioned
in Biodiversity Action Plan annual report. David reported on future plans for tree-planting,
involving other groups.
12 Meeting closed at 21:30. In Treasurer's absence, Stephen paid room hire in cash, to be reimbursed next time Treasurer comes to a meeting.
