HISTORY
Transition North Cornwall Ltd, a not for profit company, was registered on 8th November 2008 as a company limited by Guarantee. It was started by the Steering Group of Transition North Cornwall Society to replace the Society and take on all its functions in order to protect members from the unlimited personal financial liability associated with the unincorporated society structure. The change occured on 23rd March 2009.
The original Transition North Cornwall Society was constituted on the 29th March 2008.
Both the company and the society held their AGM on 23rd March 2009, where the company's plans were approved and the society disbanded.
The Society disbanded with a large majority backing from existing members. However a small minority of members who opposed the closing down of the Society, have organised and held another meeting on 12th May 2009. This meeting has re-confirmed the decision of the Society members to close the Society down.
Transition North Cornwall Ltd has now been closed down and the website is now administered by an informal group of Transition enthusiasts in North Cornwall. To join this group, simply register yourself as a member by creating a new account. As soon as the account is approved by the webmaster, you will be able to participate in the running of the website.
