New Year New Lymm event a huge success!

January 31st, 2010 | ZoeCohen
Many thanks to all of those who attended, and helped at, the New Year New Lymm LCL event on Saturday 23rd January. Thank you for helping to make it such as a success.The feedback from both stall holders and attendees was very positive. A summary of the results of the feedback forms will be shared at the next LCL meeting – there were some great comments e.g.
- “very impressive – informative and interesting – should inspire a lot of ideas to put into practice”
- “varied, friendly, interesting, informative, interactive”
Judging by the numbers of newsletters handed out and other indicators, we estimate that over 150 people attended the event. We signed-up 26 new members for LCL taking our total up to 113.
And we raised much needed funds for LCL as we are a not for profit local group. In addition over 40 local people made a carbon reduction pledge for 2010 – from waste to transport and other lifestyle changes – read their pledges here Copy of pledges from 23rd Jan 2010 event anonymous

Lymm showing of ‘The Age of Stupid’ a huge success

September 26th, 2009 | ZoeCohen
Low Carbon Lymm Chair Richard Pearce thanks all supporters for their help at The Age of Stupid showing on Friday 18th September. The feedback has been very good and it has really helped to put LCL on the map. More than 100 people came for the viewing – a great achievement for a small community group still in its infancy. We also signed-up 14 new members - one of whom is a case study for The Guardian’s national 10:10 campaign! Thanks to all involved.
