The previously posted Q&A relating to this was run through and is available below: Q: Why are we thinking of merging? A: The main reasons are: 1. To increase the security and future of CRFC. 2. To increase the possibility of grant fund opportunities by having a long term agreement on the club house. 3. The opportunity of the RFU funds to support the redevelopment of BSSC Clubhouse. 4. By being a sports section of BSSC, we will have voting rights and thus more say in the future running of the club. 5. BSSC with its central location has attracted new players and allowed the club to start a juniors section. Q: What will be the main changes? A: To the naked eye and to the playing side there will be very few changes and non of them of a major nature. The main changes will be: 1. CRFC will cease to trade. CRFC will be a section of BSSC, and as such will have a formal seat on the BSSC committee. 2. CRFC funds and assets (e.g. floodlights) will be transferred to BSSC. 3. The Rugby sections membership fees will be paid into BSSC accounts. BSSC will be responsible for the funding and running of CRFC. Q: Will we still be called Chineham RFC? A: Yes we will be called Chineham RFC. Pros Cons Permanent Home Lack of financial independence Full Voting Rights Need to ensure we have the facilities we More say in the running of BSSC want Access to much more funding More leverage for a second pitch Proposed by John Tinker, Seconded by David Floyd; the resolution was unanimously carried and the process will begin immediately. President's Closing We are a maturing club who are looking forward to the club’s first season in Hampshire 1. As the club grows we need to pull together to support the extra demands our additional commitments will put upon us. Whatever challenges we face, we will keep going forwards and by working as a unit we will succeed. Any Other Business Player Recruitment Drive 2015 – As already mentioned, player recruitment this summer will be key in order to strengthen the squad for the coming campaign. Club members were invited to aid in this wherever possible. Club Subscriptions – Whilst the number of players paying their club subscriptions is at the highest ever level, there are still some who are not contributing to the club. Action: David Floyd to provide details to Tom Johnson We confirm that the above is a true and correct account of the meeting that took place. ................................................................... ...................................................................

    Waste Prevention in Hampshire: Small Changes Big Difference Defra WREP project WR0117 Annex A: Scoping Paper December 2005 Revised March 2010 WR0117 Waste prevention in Hampshire: Small Changes Big Difference | Annex A Scoping paper Preface This report was written originally in December 2005. It was prepared as an internal working document to help the Small Changes Big Difference team develop the concept and action plan for the project. The report is one of four annexes to the final project report, prepared with minor revisions for publication in March 2010. It provides supporting detail to the evidence presented in the final project report. In reading the report it is important to remember that this was a scoping report. Some of the features of the project reported here changed later on as the delivery progressed and was reviewed at key points (e.g. after the interim evaluation – Annexes B and C). The final project report describes the full evolution of the project, its principal outcomes and lessons learned. Project overview Small Changes, Big Difference (SCBD) was a two-year action research project (October 2005-October 2007) led by Hampshire County Council (HCC) working in partnership with Project Integra (PI) and Brook Lyndhurst (the evaluation partner). The project was funded through the Defra Waste and Resources Evidence Programme. The principal objective of the project was to test a community-based behaviour change model for encouraging public action on waste minimisation, and to develop methods for capturing waste reduction impacts. SCBD comprised four individual pilots within the overall project which worked with ‘communities of interest’ to change behaviour – an approach which theory suggests should extend the reach of the project, tackle social norms, and break down entrenched behaviours.
