Since December 2006 we have arranged regular public meetings which are advertised on our website, in shop windows, the library and Southern Star newspaper, as well as directly contacting members who have provided us with an email address.
Our public meetings are open to all and everybody is very welcome whether you just pop in occasionally, or come every time. There is no commitment required, although we do appreciate it if people sign up as financial members. We are a friendly group from all walks of life in the greater Clonakilty area, who like to exchange ideas and help each other reduce our carbon footprint. We have no religious or political affiliations.
Check details from our December Meeting , our next public meeting and other news.
