BSG gears-up for a big 2010 |
|
Welcome back everyone, here’s hoping we all had a refreshing break and are getting into the swing of things for 2010. This year is going to be an exciting year for the BSG and we look forward to lots of involvement and participation by all our members and friends. Be sure to pop into the BSG office, sign up to our bulk buy solar hot water or solar PV program, come to Bendigo’s very own Community Farmer’s Market, check out the Peppergreen Farm Festival and/or join one of our many action groups - all in the Feb newsletter that will be posted here shortly.
BSG Operations
As well as having a new committee, we have some recent changes to our operations. David Jones has stood down as Executive Officer and has now taken on the new role of Property Manager in a voluntary capacity - he will be looking after our office at 108 Wills St. Our paid staff continue to be Beck Lowe and Janine Heislers. Beck is working 1 day per week as Events and Volunteers Coordinator and Janine is working a half day per week as Finance and Membership Officer. We are currently in the process of reviewing the need and budget for further staffing requirements.
Remember the BSG Office at 108 Wills St is open on Thursday mornings if you would like to drop in. Our office is still being set up and there is much work to be done. We are looking for volunteers to help with gardening, cleaning and set up of office rooms. We are also in desperate need of a small second hand fridge and small kids' table and chairs.

Welcome to the new BSG Committee for 2009-10. We had 6 nominations by the close date which meant all were elected in at the AGM. We also received 2 nominations after the close date for which the plan is to formerly vote them in when the new committee meets in the last Tues of Jan.
Our new committee is current Pres Karen Corr, Colin Lambie (Vice Pres), Linda Beilharz (Sec), Dell Coultas (Treas) with a warm welcome to newbies Claire Flanagan-Smith and Shannon Kerrigan.

Bendigo Green Community Map |
|
The Central Victorian Greenhouse Alliance has produced anonline tool for the Central Victorian region that allows you to plot your home or business green initiatives on a Google Earth satellite image.
Click to go to the Bendigo map (note there is now also a tab on the top menu) to see how our community is greening with take-up of sustainable energy and water use........and make sure you register your own sustainability initiatives!
This will be a useful way of visually understanding the success of the Solar Rooftops 100 program, of which at the end of October there had been 115 rooftop PV systems systems installed in total, of which 65 had the BSG nominated to receive a share of system RECs.
