Transition Chesterfield's Annual General Meeting will be held after the talk described above, in the Assembly Room of the Market Hall, S40 1AR.

Nominations for all of these posts are welcome at the meeting. There is, so far, nothing else on the agenda this year, apart from the reports from the Secretary and Treasurer.
