These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

  • SUSSEX MOTH GROUP NEWSLETTER Page 28 SUSSEX MOTH GROUP NEWSLETTER March 2009 Notice Regarding Elections at the AGM by Clare Jeffers on Behalf of the Committee
    SUSSEX MOTH GROUP NEWSLETTER Page 28 SUSSEX MOTH GROUP NEWSLETTER March 2009 Notice regarding Elections at the AGM by Clare Jeffers on behalf of the committee At the indoor meeting last November the Sussex Moth Group committee talked about a proposal for formalising the election of committee members. The idea was that any committee member planning to stand down from their position should ideally make this known well in advance of the AGM, so that any upcoming 'vacancy' can be advertised to all our members in the Autumn news- letter and/or at the Winter indoor meeting. The committee supposed that advertising vacancies in this manner would give all members an equal opportunity to put themselves forward for a position on the committee and the committee proposed that, in the interests of fairness, elections would then be carried out by secret ballot - either by placing ballot papers in a box at the AGM, or by B l 'postal vote' in sealed envelope to the secretary. As it happens, our current Chairman, Sam Bayley, o x w announced at that meeting his intention to stand down at the next AGM and this fact was made o r t known to all members through the distribution of minutes from that meeting; any members willing h S to take on the position of Chairman were invited to put themselves forward. n o u t b The situation we find ourselves in now is that only one member, Steve Teale, has put themselves y G r forward for the Chairman's position and no one has expressed an interest in taking over any of the a e other positions on the committee; it therefore seems that the committee's original proposal to m e elect the officers of the committee by ballot is impractical.
