NEWS UPDATE July/August 2012 Welcome to another edition of our regular news updates for 2012. This is an opportunity for volunteers and staff to catch up on what’s happening in Near. It is available via email, online and good old fashioned hard copy. Thanks to all the staff and volunteers who contributed to this issue. The Co-Operative that owns and runs Near is 30 years old next year, having been first registered as a Co-Operative on 19th March 1983. The Committee of Management are looking at a number of ways to celebrate this great occasion, and we’ll keep you updated. Don’t forget you can contact me (
