Funding
The Red Deer pub is allowing us to host our meetings cost free. Before we were paying £10 per meeting. Despite this saving we do need to raise some funds as the Green Film Festival has cost us a few hundred pounds. We would like to thank all our members who have made donations in the past. Any new donations would be greatly appreciated.
Award For Amyan
Sheffield Friends of the Earth campaigner, Amyan Macfadyen, scooped a green award from the environmental campaign Care4Air. Amyan has spent three years turning his 140-year-old semi into a perfect example of ecological living by generating his own electricity, heating hot water, collecting rainfall and using a wood burning heating system.
Membership
We have seen another increase in the number of people on the SheffieldFOE electronic mailing list. It now stands at 147. To help us keep members when they attend our meetings we have put together a new information pack.
Conference
Our new co-ordinator, Beatrice Greenfield, will be attending the Local Groups’ Annual Conference in September.
