Communication
Iain explained that the CHAHP had a steering group called the Project Partner Group (PPG) Sara Pym, Alan Groves and Pat paxton were community representatives, together with all the Parish Councils. Project partners are organisations that worked with the CHAHP. These were:Altarnun History Best of Bodmin Moor Bodmin Moor landowners association Bodmin Moor Commoners association Cornwall Archaeological Society Cornwall Council Cornwall Heritage Trust DEFRA English Heritage Launceston Area Parish Wildlife Group Liskeard and district Museum Liskeard Town Council Liskeard and Callington feeder schools Liskerrett Centre Linkinhorne, North Hill, St Neot, St Cleer parish councils Natural England Natural England (Golitha) Pentilly Woodlands Stara Community Woodlands Sterts Theatre Stuart House Trust St Cleer and district Commoners St Neot Historians
It was agreed that IR and PNJ would draft a communication to all these parties explaining that the CHP has been formed as a repository for the artefacts from the CHAHP and a communication nexus for ongoing activity by its member groups. The idea is to send the communication out sometime in January after the next CHP.
New member groups
Stara Community Woodland formally applied for membership at the previous CHP meeting. They were unanimously voted in as members.In general, we'd expect to accept for membership any local organisation with whom the CHAHP has worked. The scope of potential membership is defined in the constitution.
The "Caradon Hill Area" may not be precisely defined, but normally includes the parishes of
Liskeard St Cleer St Neot North Hill Linkinhorne St Ive
We also tend to work with Altarnun. In general it is best to be vague about the boundaries so that we can work with anyone relevant in the surrounding parishes.
The following organisations were also voted in as members:
LAPWG Stuart House Trust
Intellectual property
IR has discussed IP issues with Steve Wood and Jane Gorst. The outcome was that CHP will inherit all the intellectual property associated with the CARADONHILL.ORG.UK web site, including images and the Smartphone applications and associated media.Cornwall Council will continue to be Copyright holder for the seven years of reports produced by the CHAHP, including the recent Hurlers and Liskeard Castle reports. However these will remain in the public domain and available online.
The web site infrastructure will be funded for another three years, after which the CHP will need to use its own funds to continue supporting it.
The Smartphone applications will be formally launched on 2014-03-08 The web site will be the reference for download of the applications.
Also on 2014-03-08 will be the launch of the Caradon Trail and loans boxes for schools. Local organisations can make displays for viewing in Stuart House that day. The first floor of Stuart House has been booked for that purpose.
Web site
Iain may remove himself from the web site subgroup if anyone else wishes to join it.Insurance
Andy Robinson forwarded insurance information to PNJ. LAPWG is covered by Cornwall Wildlife Trust for any event they run. Conservation Volunteers can office insurance cover.Action: Each member group should respond with what their insurance requirements are by the January meeting. This should include events and insurance of assets. Then we need to nominate a working group to review the options and recommend actions for collective insurance.
Walk leader training
Walking for Health Walk Leaders have been trained. The rest of the discussion is deferred to another meeting.Any other business
IR volunteered to do a 5-minute talk about CHP at the Bodmin Moor conference taking place at Jamaica Inn on 2014-01-18 (10 - 15)On Saturday, 2014-07-05 with the Liskeard Carnival There'll be a Phoenix 100 mining event to mark the anniversary of the closure of the Phoenix mine. This will launch new Mining and Geology exhibits in the museum. At the next CHP meeting IR will ask for volunteers to work on this event.
