HISTORY
Transition North Cornwall Ltd 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.
TNC Ltd currently has over 40 members and more than 800 friends on our email list. Its structure and main functions are detailed in its constitution.

Transition North Cornwall - Minutes 13
Minutes of the Transition North Cornwall (TNC) Steering Group meeting held at the offices of Rezolve Kernow Ltd., ***, at 7-00pm on 17th February 2009.
1. PS took the chair and MG recorded the minutes.
2. Present: Paul Sousek, Rebecca Rapson, Chris Piesse and Mike Grigg.
Apologies were received from Jackie Ellis-Martin.
3. The minutes of the previous meeting were accepted subject to item 4.7 being amended to note RR in lieu of JEM.
4. Actions:
4.1 RR confirmed that she would be taking a 6 months sabbatical from the end of March, and would be unable to continue her involvement with the steering group during this period. She was not sure what would happen when she returned from her European tour.
At this point MG stated that he too had decided to withdraw from the group as he had found that he had become involved with too many activities. He said that the Transition Movement was still his priority concern, and that he hoped to be involved with a group in the Wadebridge area in the near future. He agreed to remain in position until the AGM in March.
4.2 PS reported that the website had received 12000 hits, and 318 comments had been posted.
CP said he thought that the website could be improved, and that his step-son may be able to advise or help with development of the site.
4.3 MG agreed to send the list of potential venues to PS.
4.4 PS had commenced arrangements to open a bank account with the Co-op Bank. This was approved by the group. It was agreed that as the amounts of money were small at this stage, only one signature would be required on cheques.
4.5 RR had investigated potential sources of funding, but had found nothing suitable.
CP agreed to check possibilities with the East Cornwall Local Action Group.
5. Events:
5.1 MG had not been able to arrange an event during January.
5.2 An event has been arranged for 12th March at Launceston – JEM
5.3 An event has been arranged for 19th March at Bude – PS. This would be an opportunity to launch a new group in that area.
5.4 RR agreed to find a venue for an event in Bodmin on 23rd March (or possibly 26th). This would coincide with the AGM.
5.5 It was agreed that Money as Debt would be the most appropriate subject for the current series of events. The film would be shown after a short introduction. A question and answer session would follow the film.
