We now welcome our new chairperson, Tony Hodgson, and Treasurer, Graham Davey.  Many members will already know Graham, as he has been actively involved in the Lifestyle Movement for quite some time; and we appreciate his continued support as Treasurer.  Tony kindly volunteered his services as Chairperson, after reading in Living Green, that we were in need of one.  Tony, a retired vicar, has been involved in a number of activities:  university studies in English Literature and Theology, 2 years in the Navy, area Secretary for Christian Aid, Warden of diocesan youth training, author of several books, Chairman of a Transition Town, in addition to being vicar at several parishes.  Tony also married and raised 2 daughters.

We thank Graham and Tony for their helpful spirits! 

Also, Jeff and Jody (Anderson) White have accepted other duties, in addition to co-editing ‘Living Green’.  Jeff is now also Membership Secretary, while Jody is General Secretary.  Both are working very diligently and hope to increase awareness of the Life Style Movement and increase our membership.  Thank you, both!

Living Green is the magazine we publish three times a year – usually January, May & September – and it’s sent to all members. It covers a wide range of relevant topics and we are always looking for appropriate contributions from both members and guests.  Due to unforeseen circumstances our Living Green editions are being posted later than usual this year.

Click on Living Green to read articles from previous editions and to review the editorial policy and submission information.

There are five main sections:

• Climate Change

• Transport

• Walking & Cycling

• Children

• Daylight Saving

These sections represent the themes on which Dr Hillman has focused his research over the last 40 years, and include many of the publications that he has written or co-authored.
