Could you envisage Board meetings in London with some external members by audio or video link? You might have some Board members who need frequent contact with the others and the Totnes staff, and some who don't. Loosening the Totnes-centredness of the Trustees would help its strategic role. Some excellent points in this discussion.

The incisive and insightful skills for which you are so highly revered... amazing that I ran this part about 5 people and none of them spotted the date blooper. All the more reason why we need new Trustees! Thanks Ah yes… well spotted Mr Chamberlin.

Perhaps you meant Friday 12th February 2010? :) You’re clearly not superstitious, but I must point out that the deadline of Friday 13th February 2009 is somewhat expired!

Bristol is not so far, but still based in the West. The proposal for week day morning meetings may reduce the number of applicants. Is there any chance that board meetings could be by video link, which would enable a wider range of applications? This would decentralise the network more. Perhaps a percentage of applicants should be encouraged from other areas of the UK? Totnes is some way to travel for many involved with TT’s. Bristol is not so far, but still based in the West.
