Wow

Leah, it's great. The colours and the layout make me see how it will work as a logo. I'll have a play around with the O this week o in Photoshop and see what I can do. We'll definitely have to get it onto the main bit of the blog when it's finished so that our name becomes familiar with people.

Well done girl!

How's this look?

Wow! that sounds like such an amazing course to be part of! And my best friend/next-door-neighbor just turned 17 today so i'll definitely tell her about it! :)

Anyway, I've been playing around on Word (it the only thing i really know how to use properly, lol) and i wanted to see what you all though of this as a first draft logo?

There is still space in the O for an owl! I really loved the owl idea, so unless anyone is really against it, i need some help as i have no idea how to put an owl in an O, lol. And I tried drawing an owl in, but it kept turning into a pig/sheep! :) So could someone draw a really beautiful owly because i just don't think i'm up to it, lol. Also if people still want a hedgehog-dot you can sort that out, i did really like that idea to, i just didn't know how to do that either! :)

Peace Out

Leah :)

A great opportunity

Sadly, none of the current Youth Council members are in the right age group for this, but maybe you know people who are. It sounds great.

Maybe an organisation we can link with somehow, or use to recruit some members?!

Idea!

I Just thought of another place we could arrange a visit to when we get to that point! :)

What does everyone think of a trip to Kew Gardens? Yes? No?

Leah

Heathrow...

We had another very productive meeting at the weekend and are ready to start recruiting for the elections now. I'm going to try and find out how to put info about them on here as a separate bit rather than in a post.
Leah also mentioned the new plans for Heathrow - the Government has approved the development of a 3rd runway and 6th terminal at Heathrow.Heathrow is not in Sussex, but this is something which could affect us all and there is a petition and a very useful website here: http://www.stopheathrowexpansion.com/
On a more positive note, an article about us was published in the Wildlife magazine in January and as a result the West Sussex County Times are interested in hearing more about what we're doing.

Keep up the hard work

...........

It was AS-level Chemistry :) It went alright, but some wierd questions!- Had Critical Thinking and Biology too- think Biology went OK and Critical hard anyway :(
Fingers crossed anyway :)
Heathrow's not in Sussex, but there's probably a petition or something?

Look forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

Heathrow!! Aaahh!! Noooo!!

Me again :) I'm sure everyone has already seen something about this one way or another but i wanted to post about it on here anyway as it seems to me to be at least a little bit connected to protecting wildlife!

Good ol' Gordon Brown has decided to approve the construction of a 5th (or 6th, not sure which) terminal and a 3rd runway (i think thats right, correct me if my facts are wrong, lol) for Heathrow. Apparently, for this to go ahead, a whole little village will have to be brought down! :( and also, presumably, all the surrounding wild places! :(

Is the wildlife trust thinking of joining in with the campaigns against this in some way? Is Heathrow technically in Sussex?

What do people think on the subject?

Leah :)

What's going on tomorrow?

Heya everyone! :)

Just asking what kinda time we'll be meeting tomorrow and for how long, if it's still on? 

And also checking whether there's any emails i've missed for some reason (my email goes a bit weird sometimes! lol).

How did your AS-Level Chemistry go, Ali?

See you Saturday! :)

Leah  

Awww, your dogs are so sweet :) I love dogs, but not allowed one :(
Ahhhh, my Chemistry AS-Level tomorrow!!!!
Hope it goes OK ^^

Hey Sarah and Ali :)

Wonderful to here you both had a great end-of-year time! :)

And i really love your cat Ali, she's really beautiful and the name Marble is great!

And i also like 'Wild Inspire'! It's much more catchy and easy to remember :)

See you all even sooner :)

Leah :D

p.s. Our canine friends say hi to Marble (don't worry they don't chase cats!)

HAPPY NEW YEAR
Let's hope it will bring lots of wonderful and exciting things for all of us.
It's really nice to see that you're still using the blog to chat. Must admit I've been a bit lazy - I've had a very relaxing christmas holiday and haven't been doing any of the things I should have been!
Leah, you've got some great ideas for names. I especially like 'Young Hands, Minds & Hearts, Inspired by Sussex' but it's a bit long for a name, more of a tag line. Shame though because it just about encompasses everything that I feel we are about. Or what about another of your suggestions, shortened to 'Wild Inspired'?
I'll be in work tomorrow so will probably be in touch with you when I'm in work mode and have worked out what I need to say.
Speak soon.
Sarah

NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Yeah, it was me, Ali- sorry, I was writing it just quickly

A Christmas message from my cat, Marble :)

(sorry if its a little late)

Heyo :)

Is that you Ali? Sorry, I wasn't sure cos you didn't put a name :)

And no worries, that was my least favourite one anyway! I agree with you, it isn't the best idea to be giving that kind of persona to this group, my bad.

Well done and Good luck with revising! :) i know it can be really tough sometimes (or all the time... for me anyway lol)

See you all soon in 2009!

Leah :)
