[Committee] FW: Sustainable cities event on 2nd February

[Stephen Rowley]

Another option is we can ask Steve if he'd like to do a similar talk
to the one he did on Monday but to a bigger audience.  Otherwise just
carry on with Kim's talk.

I'll send an e-mail out tomorrow to the Camlist reminding people about
the event.

Stephen.

P.S. Shall we have a committee meeting on Monday at 7pm?
