Update weeks starting 28th October

The main change is that our OCSG account has been credited with £10K from DEFRA via the Environment Agency. I would like to thank Elizabeth Bunting for her support.
Except from this very good news, I spent some time preparing the 5th November site visit, during which we will look at potential sites on the Ouseburn for possible water storage features. We are planning to visit the source of the Ouseburn, Gosforth Golf course and Jesmond Dene. We should accompagnied with Steve Barratt, Bob Wilkin and hopefully Derek Hilton-Brown from Newcastle City Council.
I have also set up a meeting with Phil Bell to look at videos and photographs of the flooding in Newcastle Great Park area.
I also should start writing the OCAP in the coming weeks as we are intending to have a draft version for the Annual Meeting in February 2009.
Have all a good week,
Sebastien
