To all Brentwood Climate Action members from Susan Kortlandt, Chair, BCA – October 2023
Dear member,
It’s been a while since we last met and indeed took action in this group.
Nevertheless, the need for the group is perhaps just as strong as ever and we should be encouraged by the actions we took over the last two years, which have included a schools conference, a stand at Strawberry Fair, a litter pick and some enjoyable meetings to exchange thoughts.
The steering group continues to meet and is looking forward to organising another schools conference and planning further action over the next year. Several members have asked whether it is a good time to revive our group and also to celebrate the declaration of a Climate Emergency by the current Brentwood Borough Council – something we called for two years ago.
Personally, I have decided to step down as chair and realised the constitution we started with makes no provision for this, so I propose we change it and elect a new chair at our next meeting. I have attached a new constitution below and highlighted in red the changes proposed.
So I invite you to meet to do this at 7pm on Friday October 20th at the Chicken and Frog Bookshop, 30 Crown St, Brentwood, CM14 4BA.
Please email us at info@brentwoodclimateaction.org.uk to confirm your attendance.
Best wishes,
Sue
