DEED warmly invites you to attend their Annual General Meeting. The AGM will be preceded by a talk by Pauline Stirling who will share the Earth Museum’s new learning programme: ‘The Air We Breathe’.
Pauline is a retired teacher, freelance educational consultant and Director at DEED. Pauline works with the Earth Museum, a not-for-profit virtual museum on the Isle of Wight.
Please note: The next meeting has been changed to Monday 29th September (instead of Thursday 25th).
The Draft Agenda is linked here. We probably won’t get through everything, but we can make a start and get some consensus on what things we would like the group to focus on.
Please let Mitch know if you are able to attend by emailing hedgehogfriendlywimborne@btinternet.com.
