Hi Gavin,

I work for Lambeth Council and run a project called Go Green Plus, which provides environemntal advice to SMEs in Lambeth. The advice is free and funded through a European programme. It sounds like you are well ahead on carbon reduction, but I wondered if you would be interested in reciving a free audit and support. The environemntal officers would be able to help you with any aspects of your work.

I am also looking to create green business networks. A number of pubs, bars and restaurants are now taking this advice and it would be good to exchange knowledge and information amongst business owners across the borough. This could include case studies, holding networking sessions at the White Lion and other businesses.

You can get in contact with me on 0207 926 2702 or jkeates@lambeth.gov.uk to discuss this and other possible initiatives. I would also like to add you to a partnership group called the Low Carbon Economy Partnership Group, which is looking at the development of the green business sector in the borough.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,

Jeremy Keates
Lambeth Council

Hey man. See you've joined the lambeth gardens group. Would love to get your input. If you have a garden feel free to do the questionnaire. Otherwise it would be great to have a chat at some point in the next couple of weeks. David

Hi Gavin
Thanks for your TT Wimbledon updates on PD. If you think there's anything you want pushed around a bit more widely, let us know and we can feature it on the front page if you write it in your blog area. For more info on how to do this, take a look here.
Cheers, Nick

Thanks Gavin
Not sure about the books. It would require someone to drive over with them (Linda has them at the moment) and might be a bit of a hassle. Tess and I are thinking it might be a good idea to run a stall at the farmers market, once we have our next event planned, so we could sell books there. Linda says Nicky who runs it is happy to let us do this and might be able to get a table for us. Lets talk about it next week?
Cheers

That's good! I wonder whether we ought to pull out the ones who want to help actively, and invite them to join the steering group. Perhaps we could discuss this when we meet next week.
Great if you could invite all those who gave email addresses via this site. Do you know how to do it? Sure you used that facility for inviting some to the screening?

Hi Gavin
I'm intrigued to know how many email addresses we managed to collect on Thursday? Have you managed to have a look? I wonder whether it might be good to send an invite via the PD event listing? We could then send a reminder nearer to the 10th after we have had our meeting.
Cheers

Hi Gavin
Hope that you've been given the DVD by Gareth - could you bring it to the Green Drinks on Weds so that we can take it to the school and try it out?
Thanks very much and see you then

Hi Gavin
Just to say that, after many attempts to get Gareth (as our IT person)to send out the invites from Alban's spreadsheet, I did it myself last week! What I wanted either you or Gareth to do was to email those who's emails we have collected from various events we've attended, starting with fete of the earth, then the Quaker's, UNA talk etc. Who has these details? Have their email been added to the yahoo group? Have they been invited via the mailing list rather than Project Dirt?
See you tonight.
Terry
