  • Treasurer
    • Discussion was had on sending monies up to region. Opinions that NESIG send the most up / no one else does anyway / it will only sit at region, etc. We do need to get plans and budgets in place asap as to what LO proposals are so that a firm decision can be made at next Intergroup. Martin to produce a doc on Treasurers role and what to do to pass up etc
  • Public Information LO (Zoe voted in)
  • Telephone LO – Glenn 
  • I have compiled and verified the available people who still wish to be a 12 stepper for the joint Mid Surrey / North East Surrey list (Green available, RED not or declined). All docs will be shared on a separate email due to number of attachments. The only other concern is the training, as there is no formal training for the 12 stepper only the safeguarding guidelines and the attached responder training. There is a Regional workshop on Sunday the 29th September at Pulborough where I am hoping to meet some other TLO’s and enquire on how they have trained there 12 steppers.
