We discussed the Haddington Bag (known to its friends as the Hadbag), and the O2/Energy Saving Trust Community Insultation project, as well as possible ideas for fundraising. We decided to try and put in an application for the Energy Saver Project, despite the tight deadline. Following the meeting, Jean put out about 40 leaflets round the Victoria Park/Princess Mary Road area, and also put an item in East Lothian Council’s Email Alert. 13 households responded, and luckily there were enough in the categories asked for by 02 so that we could include all of those who weren’t. Frustating that the timescale was so tight though. The application was duly sent off, so fingers crossed, and we should hear by mid-August.
The Hadbag project is gaining momentum - a separate meeting was held about the bag on 4 August. Elisa is approaching suppliers for costings, and Abbie is looking into various sources of funding. All of us are racking our brains for local graphic artists to design the bag. We are aiming to have this ready by Christmas, but the word from North Berwick is that if they could give one piece of advice it is don’t expect the ship to arrive when it’s meant to. So, maybe not, then.
The next meeting is at 7.00, Monday 25 August, Bridge Centre. All welcome, biscuits, coffee, comfortable chair…
