We had a fabulous Annual Town Meeting last night: more than sixty people turned up (the largest number I can recall) and much debate was had. We used a process called "
Open Space" which meant 14 mini-workshops were convened on topics chosen by those who came along. The room was humming with ideas, agreements and disagreements, information and questions... for nearly two hours. The Town Council will be producing a summary of the discussions based upon the flip charts produced. Watch this space.
Meanwhile here are some pics of the event taken by our Committee Clerk, Nina Stockhill and me. And below are all the topics that were posted for debate. (I should add that I attribute the great turnout to two things: the brilliant social media campaign that Nina led in the fortnight running up to this meeting and secondly the increasing energy and passion to build an even better Buckingham amongst the townsfolk. Thanks to both!)
