The Communications and Advice Group (contact Robert Hutchison, e-mail drd.hutchison@btinternet.com) has established a WinACC presence on Facebook, and is holding a joint meeting with the Science and Technology Advisory Panel (STAP, contact David Knight, e-mail david.knight77@ntlworld.com) on 25 March to finalise the advice that WinACC will be offering on how best individuals and households can and should reduce their carbon footprints. STAP will be holding a further meeting on Monday 17 March at 1930 at 18 Romsey Road.
The Training Group (contact Robert Hutchison, e-mail drd.hutchison@btinternet.com) is planning the first of what it is hoped will be a series of one-day training courses for Low Carbon Champions. The date, time and place for the first of these courses will be published shortly.

Hello,
Just to add that there will be a meeting of the low carbon refurb group on Wednesday, 20th February at 7.15pm in the Bishop on the Bridge pub.
Please bring note pads and diaries so that we can swap details, pool knowledge, note our strengths and start acting on climate change in the domestic sector.
Your thoughts and ideas are much anticipated. I have a few ideas to put to the group- many of which came about from a discussion with Pete Pitfield and Hena Chowdry.
We are looking at starting a Greening Campaign (Terena Plowright gave a wonderful lecture on this last week- see http://www.greening-campaign.co.uk ) in one of the parishes; circulating EST survey forms to give information on energy efficiency of houses and advise of corrective measures; starting community advice schemes to give free, impartial and accurate advice encouraging all Winchester’s households to lower their carbon footprint.
Let me know if you can make it as a low turnout will mean postponing the meeting.
Sorry for the late notice, I hope that you can come.
Best wishes
Jess Lloyd
