- Hi
Great stuff - I will put you on the delegate list I am compiling and get details sent out when confirmed. That's really wierd - I started getting email updates from Jesse Norman a few months ago and have no idea how I got onto his email list. He is involved in some really interesting things though- heard about the Young Farners film that is being made and more recently the Broadband Summit that he is organising for this Friday. He is definately someone we will invite along to the CLT event/ network site.
All the best
Kirsty

- Hi Christine
So good to 'see' you here!!! One of the original Carnegie inspiring case studies! 2006 seems such a long time ago! Great to hear that the shop and post office are developing (2 shops now!) We are holding a Community Land Trust seminar at the Eden Project in Cornwall on teh 3rd and 4th November which you might be interested in. Its aimed at communities wanting to find out more so might be a fit for you? Will be posting more info on here soon. In the meantime - keep posting your news here - so great to hear about your progress! All the best Kirsty

- Hi Christine,
Further to Nick's comment below, your profile biography suggests that you may be interested in the concept of a community land trust. If you're not already aware of them, CLTs provide a model of community ownership and are commonly used to provide affordable housing in perpetuity. They have been particularly successful in rural villages and market towns blighted by disproportionately high house prices.
We have a Ning at www.communitylandtrusts.ning.com and a website at www.communitylandtrusts.org.uk - there's plenty of expertise there in addition to the impressive knowledge and resources here on Fiery Spirits.
Best wishes
Tom
