The first series of "Climate Change, Despair & Empowerment" presentations was most successful

Coffs Harbour City Council hired the Jetty Theatre for the occasion and helped publicise the event. All 260 seats in the theatre were full and they had to turn people away. Its reassuring to see that all the figures from the polls indicating how important this issue is to Australians got translated into souls on seats.

This was followed by 130 people attending at Bellingen, 80 at Port Macquarie and 50 at Bundagen. All 4 places formed local Climate Study/Action groups.
