Mendip Society job offer
The Mendip Society needs someone to take over from its long- serving secretary who is retiring for health reasons. The Society, which is entirely voluntary, has nearly 1,000 members with its principal object being "the conservation and enhancement ot the beauty and character of Mendip and its surroundings"
Originally founded to curb the environmental excesses of the quarrying companies the Society is now moving into other vital and controversial topics such as the building of the Severn Barrage, the erection of wind turbines on the hills and the rapid growth of Bristol International Airport. All of these could have a profound impact on the Mendip Hills.
The Society, which is consulted and listened to by government, semi-governmental bodies and other opinion forming organisations, has an important advisory and educational role to play in future development. A good secretary is vital to the Society. He or she would be very much involved in opinion forming as well as in administration. IT skills are a necessary part of the position.
