Dear CEF Member Archive,
Please find following some dates for your diary and forthcoming activities. Please promote to others who may be interested in attending events or getting involved in activities.
Friday 10th February 2012:Information Seminar on the Water Services Amendment Bill 2011, Oriel House, Ballincollig from 9.30am – 1pm. This is being hosted with support from Engineers Ireland, Cork region. The seminar will include an overview of the new legislation, what is involved in a site assessment, possible outcomes and action required, what type of waste treatment systems are available and who is responsible. The event is structured to allow maximum time for attendees to have queries pertinent to them discussed and answered through round table sessions facilitated by the speakers. Good practice in relation to the use and maintenance of conventional septic tanks will also be highlighted. There is no charge for attending, however, due to limited space it is advisable to register by emailing: bernadette@cef.ie or contacting 086 8216726.
Thursday 16th February 2012 – Green Drinks, Dennehy’s Pub, Cornmarket Street. This is a get together to allow people with an interest in sustainability and the environment to chat in an informal way. It allows you to catch up with old friends and meet new people. We look forward to meeting you there.
National Tree Week 4th – 10th March 2012: Can you help CEF to plant a 1000 Tree Legacy for Cork. Through one of our members we have been able to source 1000 Oak and Ash saplings which we would like to plant during tree week. We are looking for community projects that would be in a position to plant a substantial number of trees. Please get in touch if you have such a project in mind. We encourage all groups and communities to get involved in this National Tree Council initiative by planting trees, organising walks in local woods and visiting champion trees. We are in the process of organising some such events and will forward details shortly.
St. Patrick’s Festival, Saturday 17th March: CEF has participated in the Festival Parade for a number of years. This is always a fun way of highlighting the importance of environmental issues and CEF. This year’s theme is based on the Olympics, we already have some ideas of how we can adapt this in creating our float. As always the more people who participate the more successful the spectacle! Please get in touch if you are interested in getting involved or helping out.
CEF will be participating in the Lifelong Learning Festival, 26th March – 1st April. More information on this will be available soon.
Do get in touch if you are interested in participating in any of the above.
Best regards,
Bernie Connolly
Development Coordinator
