Groups
Sustainable Carlisle Network (SCN) - as an organisation is less than a year old but already we have attracted a number of members with varying and dedicated interests. While the mailing lists / groups below are not formal they provide a loose structure for people (at the moment a handful of people per group) with similar interests to keep in touch using one easily remembered email address. For example, to contact all the members of the funding group simply email: funding@sustainablecarlisle.org.
However, to ensure your email goes straight through you must first subscribe - otherwise it will be held until a moderator approves it. To subscribe to a mailing list just click one of the links below and enter a few simple details. You can unsubscribe at any time.
