- Signing up to Funding and Information Fair at Centre4 21st November
- Role of SSNEL as regards them being a ‘critical friend’ in any bid writing undertaken by the society
- Possibilities around the production of Town Guides for the public to access from various outlets (paper-based or online), for residents and visitors to find out more about our immediate area; use of QR readers to allow greater access to information for the public
