| The Cork Environmental Forum Annual General Meeting will be held on the evening of Thursday 16th September starting at 7pm at the lovely Blackrock Observatory. We will be showing a short film on a sustainability theme on the evening ('A Burning Question' Earth Horizon productions; Running Time 50 mins) and will make sure to allow time for wine, cheese and mingling before an early finish. Please find below an agenda for the evening's formal proceedings, minutes of the 2009 AGM, proposed amendments to the company Articles of Association and voting details. This is a super time to join the board of a small and dynamic company and to lead an incredible variety of work in the field of sustainable development. If you would like to find out more about what might be involved, contact us now. Committee members might contribute in any of the following ways:
