1) P.Murry introduced Green Seniors mentioning that:
· Membership
of GS is open to all GP members who are interested in ‘senior’ issues,
irrespective of age.
· GS
meets regularly in London, but members are encouraged to set local/regional
groups.
· Details
of GS’ aims, constitution, current committee and minutes of previous GS
meetings can be found at https://greenseniors.blogspot.com/ which is
linked from the GP members’ site.

around London for GS members.
·
GS is affiliated to the National
Pensioners Convention (https://www.npcuk.org)
·
GS, along with some other internal GP groups,
is being offered £400 to fund it’s activities. To use this it will be necessary
to open a bank account and elect a Treasurer to run it.
2)
TV Licenses campaign, GS members had supported this, but some felt that it was
an example of how many older people were privileged in terms of housing, income
etc relative to younger generations.
3)
In the context of GP and elsewhere the experience of seniors was often ignored
4)
GP local/regional parties should make age profiles of their memberships.
5)
Some members present proposed to liaise in order to organise a GS conference.
