South West training event 12th February, Bristol
The Green Register ran a half day free event to tell people about a brilliant on-line tool freely available to all – The South West Checklist (http://www.checklistsouthwest.co.uk/). Despite having been around for the past 18 months, more than half those who attended had not heard of the Checklist before so it felt really good to be able to offer the training (free thanks to Bristol City Council sponsoring the event - thanks Celia!).
There were over 50 attendees from different professions within the construction industry and the delegate feedback consistently reinforced that this was one of the best things about the afternoon - sharing ideas across disciplines and being able to discuss concerns with others - something obviously lacking in general practice.
The breakout sessions seemed to be particularly useful for attendees - much was made of the opportunity to pick the issues apart in an informal setting (many people wanted more time!) The Credit Crunch naturally came up throughout the discussions but the general consensus was, grab the opportunity to learn more about sustainable building practices now while things are quiet because the planet’s health ain’t getting any better!
