Points for discussion
Our immediate aim - Ensure centre opens as soon as the government says it is safe to do so and work with VisionRCL to help make that happen
Our long term aim - Are we aiming to become a formal group, a charity in its own right, working to improve Fairlop Waters in partnership with the Council or do we remain an informal grouping of organisations cooperating on a media campaign?
How do we take the work forward? We need people who are prepared/able to do things. Legal help. Setting up charity. Funding bids. Websites. Running social media. Reaching out to other user groups.
Reaching out to VisionRCL - with what aim in mind?
