Solar panels
Jonathan Frankel gave a short presentation on the work of his company: Solartek-uk. The cost is approximately �6,500 fully installed including feed back into the mains. The system does not work with condensing/combi boilers. The panels are claimed to have a life of 25 years at 90% efficiency. Solartek-uk would be happy to attend the Green Fair to promote their product.

Meeting place
Haris reported that she had negotiated the use of the function room at Pier Luigi�s on Princes Avenue, for �10 including coffee. The group agreed this was a good venue. It would be made clear in our publicity that access involved a short flight of stairs. The group agreed to start meetings at the earlier time of 7.30 pm. Notices to this effect would be produced to display at the Green Fair.

Arrangements were made to distribute posters, to set the Green Fair up, help at the stalls and in the kitchen. The Green Fair group will meet on 16 November at Hilary�s at 8pm to finalise arrangements. All welcome!

5-year plan
We are in year 3 of FoE�s 5-year Plan, and are to be asked in January 2007 for our views on the direction(s) national FoE should be taking. Discuss ideas at Dec meeting.

Farmer's market
It was decided to investigate more fully whether it would be worth having a stall at the market in Woodmansey. Chrys went regularly and said it was rather a small market specialising in meat, pies, cakes etc. No organics. There was usually at least 1 vegetable stall, sometimes a craft stall.

Zero Waste Charter
It was decided that the group should sign up.
