Energy Saving Exhibition
24th and 25th April 2010
Burnby Hall, Pocklington
Pocklington Town Council are taking the lead on making all of the local population and local businesses fully aware of the high cost and environmental impact of consuming energy inefficiently and/or excessively – and also of the opportunities for ‘self generation’ ie solar, wind turbines, etc.
As part of the informing process the council is arranging an ‘Energy Saving Exhibition’ to which all local residents and local businesses will be invited.
At the Energy Saving Exhibition we are arranging to have a range of creditable and proven companies and suppliers displaying their energy saving and energy generation goods and services.
I am contacting you to see if, in principle, your organisation wishes to be invited to display (with support technical staff) at the Energy Saving Exhibition.
We intend to have on display a broad range, and mix, of energy saving and energy generating goods and services.
Further information can be obtained from Pocklington Town Council on 01759 304851 or from Councillor Perry (Exhibition Organiser) 01759 304834 or 07703 593403.
