Just out - BSFG's quarterly newsletter; plus a thank you to past president John Lloyd for his work on the Newsletter from 2012 - 2018 and a request for feedback for a review of the newsletter

The newsletter released this week is the first we have attempted since John Lloyd retired as president at our AGM in June.  We often heard from John the work required to put a Newsletter together and we now appreciate what is involved.  One difficulty that John often mentioned was getting articles.  I notice that the first edition was 4 pages while later editions have been 7 or 8 with one being 9 pages.  This edition is 6 pages.  Thank you to contributors to this edition and Ian Herbert for producing the newsletter.

On behalf of the committee, current BSFG members and previous BSFG supporters I would like to thank  John not only for his diligence in putting the newsletter together over many years, the first edition being on May 2012 but also for his role as president since the Benalla Sustainable Future Group was established in 2010 by local residents who were concerned about the issue of sustainability and the lack of action on climate change both locally and nationally.

John has dedicated himself to many activities related to the environment, sustainability and climate change, promoting the activities of BSFG and contributing to its good standing in both Benalla and the wider community.  John is also the convenor of the Benalla U3A group Towards a Sustainable Future.

Now John is able to devote more time in leading the BSFG action group Renewable Energy Benalla which has the goal of Benalla becoming a zero net energy town by 2028.  I know this role requires considerable work from both John and his group.

Newsletter survey.  At a recent Benalla Sustainable Future Group committee meeting we decided to review the publication of the BSFG Newsletter.  Christine Holmes has therefor developed the attached survey to ascertain what you would like in the newsletter.  Your input will be appreciated by the committee.


Peter Maddock,
Secretary.
