Representatives from all theme groups met last spring and thrashed out some constitutional issues for Transition Norwich. One of the things we agreed was that we need to have a Core Group, which should be of 6 people, elected by the membership. We felt continuity is important so agreed 3 people should step down each year, i.e. ideally nobody will serve for more than 2 years. In early summer we asked (via the Bulletin) for nominations, and received only 3, so those people were elected automatically.
The new members are Jane Chittenden, Alex Haxeltine and Tom Harper. They join the continuing members Christine Way, Chris Hull and Tully Wakeman. The core group thanks Greg Colbourn and Sarah Gann, who stood down at this election, for their valuable work during the first year of Transition Norwich (Tully Wakeman/Core)
