Where abouts are they held Dave, I could not possibly promise to attend but if I am feeling good enough to manage it and it is not too far, I would like to give it a go as it would be quite interesting to see what goes on behind the scenes.

They are held Quarterly at county hall Morpeth on the third tuesday afternoon of the month.

The next one is in January. Plenty of time for this topic to be added to the agenda.

The meetings usually last a couple of hours depending on the matters to be discussed.

Cheers
Dave

Cheers Dave, if I feel up to it I will have a look up and meet up with you. It isn't far from Consett so that won't be a problem. If you could send me a PM a bit nearer the time I would appreciate it though, but will make a note and try to remember. I probably won't be able to let you know until the day itself though as I can be not too bad one day and feel lousy the next.

Jim.

Dave I would also be interested in that meeting for the reason we have talked about.

Lots of proposed changes for the SFC in the white paper, funding and greater representation from the EA, Natural England in other words committee votes and then this little gem.


7.70 – 7.71: MCS supports the renaming (and associated re-branding) of the SFCs to mark their
functions (paragraph 7.70, pg 110), whilst recognizing that a change in name is only one step in changing the culture of modernized SFCs from the current focus solely on fisheries to a broader remit.
