Dear members of the ESB PA and community,

Since the AGM in October, we have been incredibly busy … time for an end of year update and to wish you all a very festive holiday period.

We are happy to say that we have a 9 member PA committee again after years of not enough committee members. Our new committee members are Leah Jin, Sharon Petrie and Will Drury – which means we have representation from EMA again and focus on transport and sustainability. At the same time two of our committee members Anne and Helena stepped down from their committee roles but are continuing as active members looking after the website and the shop – a big thank you to all our volunteers.

We would like to draw your attention to the following news items:
