Energy and Buildings, the “Low-Hanging Fruit” in Responding to the Climate Emergency

Recently branch member Phil Alford ran a two-week Advanced Climate Course for the Bureau of Meteorology. One of the presenters at the course was Alan Pears, energy efficiency expert and long-time ATA supporter. Alan has given Phil permission to use his presentation as a basis for this Brisbane ATA presentation. Phil will also briefly summarise the latest information about
what is happening to our climate.

Celebrating 30 years of ATA
In addition we will be having cake to celebrate 30 years of the ATA as well as a sustainable items auction.  If you have items of a sustainable nature that you wish to auction, then please bring these along. Please note that anything not sold must be taken away by the original owner.

Committee Meeting
Prior to the branch meeting, members of the Brisbane ATA committee will be meeting at the Peace Centre from 6.00pm – 7:00pm over some pizza. Other ATA
members are encouraged to join us for this meeting and meal get-together. If you are interested in coming, please let Stephen Kelly know via email at
stephentkelly19@yahoo.com.au, so that you can be included in the pizza order.

September – Annual General Meeting
Part of the evening for our September meeting will be the Annual General Meeting (AGM) for the Brisbane Branch.  Two of the main purposes of the AGM
are to elect the roles of Branch Convenor and Treasurer and accept committee member nominations for the year ahead.

The roles of Convenor and Treasurer are being vacated this year so if you are interested in either of these roles would you please let me know your nomination as soon as possible. In accordance with the constitution of the ATA these two roles are required to be filled in order for the Brisbane Branch to continue.

Cheers, Stephen Kelly
