Given the interest in setting up an oil buying co-op to ensure the cheapest prices, Karen Carpenter (Derbyshire Dales District Council) suggests she meets with a community representative or interested people:

I think if there is sufficient interest, then would you like to have a community meeting to discuss how the community would like a co-op to run, as a number of volunteers will be needed to co-ordinate ordering of oil and passing the message to all members of the co-op. I think the website will be a useful way of getting the message out, but I don’t wish to exclude people who don’t have access to the internet, so it will be important to have a way of reaching all the community. Where would it be best to have a meeting with those who are interested? I am happy to come out in the evening so more people will be available. I just need to make sure my husband is available to look after our children when setting the date. Alternatively I can come and meet with a representative of the community if that is what you would prefer.

We have suggested Karen comes to a meeting of everyone wanting to be involved in either the Pub or the Church. (Updated 12/1/10) This is provisionally arranged for 7-30pm Thursday 11th February at the Sycamore Inn; Karen is emailing a poster the Blog and Parish Council so we can put it in the Church Magazine, and get notices up.

Several people have also asked to set up a parallel LPG co-op, so LPG users come along to the meeting as well.
