11. CWMS Action Plan teams

The Committee discussed how they want to do action plan items going forward. Instead of breaking into small groups, the Committee decided that as they are a small group already, that they are keen to work on action items as a whole as they arise.  The Committee agreed that where possible, workshops and meetings include sufficient time to discuss 1-2 actions from the action plan as a whole committee. One of the first actions to be discussed will be establishing a soil conservation programme.  

12. Zone Facilitator's Update

The information provided in Shelley Washington’s Facilitator’s Update report was noted by the Committee.

Shelley queried the following with members:

·         Whether they would like a stand at the Little River Show in January 2023. The Committee said yes.  Shelley will email the Committee to find out who can definitely commit to attending.

·         The Committee discussed whether they would like a stand at the Orton Bradley Park Spring Fair. As this event falls over Labour Weekend, members availability may be limited. As such, the Committee agreed not to participate in the fair.

·         Trudi Bishop volunteered to be involved with meeting with Shelley and communications staff to further progress the development of display materials the Committee can use at any event it attends.

Committee Resolved BPZC/2022/00022
