Kidlington vs Climate Change (KvsCC) was a voluntary community action group formed to raise awareness and help Kidlington residents towards the point of taking action to reduce their impact on the environment. I took the Chair of this group in 2011. As time went on, we found we could not attract new active members to the group or dream up new activities, and eventually took the difficult decision to wind it up. The spin-off group, Kidlington Abundance, continues to function, and KvsCC's assets (a bit of cash and two gazebos) were passed to them.

This was a temporary assignment on a 'Green Deal' community engagement project with pilot funding under the DECC LEAF programme, (Department of Energy and Climate Change, Local Energy Assessment Fund).

I joined when it was the Potato Marketing Board (PMB) and ran a small library and information service within the R&D department. The PMB was closed in 1997 and transferred into the much smaller British Potato Council (BPC). The BPC was entirely funded through statutory levy on potato growers and companies in the supply chain (e.g. packers, processors) and became very successful. Its objectives were to increase the competitiveness of the British potato industry and to increase the usage of British potatoes. From 2002 I was a member of the Knowledge Transfer team responsible for managing the website, publishing technical literature and email newsletters, answering technical enquiries, and event support.A further re-organisation in 2008, when BPC became simply the Potato Council, resulted in its relocation to Warwickshire with the other agricultural levy bodies, and I elected to take redundancy rather than relocate.
