Present: Alan, Kath, Jayne, Kristina, Luke and Jenny. Apologies: Joe, Jeffrey, and Trevor.
Welcome to new members Kristina, Luke and Jenny. We met Luke and Jenny on Saturday when the visited the stall at Chapel Allerton. Also thanks to Mel who came along to help on the stall on Saturday.
Oceans: Our Save the Arctic and CFP stall at Chapel Allerton Arts Festival went well and thanks to everyone who helped. The polar bear was very popular. We got 70 signatories for the Fisherman’s Friend ‘Have your Say’campaign which will be sent off to Greenpeace HQ. Not sure how many people texted ‘ARCTIC’ but think it might be over 100. Photos on the local group webpage. Jayne will try to write a piece with photo for the local paper.
Frozen Planet Film Night: We discussed trying to hold this film night next month. Kristina has contacts with Wharfe Chambers where we might be able to get a room fairly cheaply. When we have a date we will contact GP to try to get a green speaker to talk about the issues and have a Q&A session after the film.
