Dear Local Residents' Associations and Community Groups in CHCH,
I would like to invite you to 2 local community meetings coming up in April and May.
Firstly, I am pleased to invite you to a 'SCRAM' (South Chch Residents Association meet up) event on Thursday, 11th April at the Beckenham Service Centre Boardroom from 10 am to 12 pm.
During this first event, we will have the opportunity to suggest any topics that concern your group as a whole for an open discussion. (This event has conveniently been scheduled after two other community-based meetings, including one with Mayor Phil Mauger and the Waitaha Community Led Development.)

We hope this SCRAM event will be beneficial for the Long-Term Plan consultation processes for CCC and ECAN and generally help our community groups to stay better connected, especially if required for emergency preparedness purposes.
Secondly, SCERT (Somerfield Community Emergency Response Team) have organised a meeting in May, we would also like to invite you or your community group to our SCERT public information event, to be held on Thursday, 30th May, from 7-9 pm.
SCERT welcomes any residents or new groups in any area to join us for this also, so you may independently promote your community group in St Mark's Hall, 5 Somerfield Street.
Please refer to the posters attached for more information on either event.

If you would like to attend or share either /any of these events with other local community groups, please message me or join our event page(s).

Best regards,
Julie Tobbell.
Somerfield Residents Association Chairperson.

That first meeting planted a seed
My obsession with food was present from a very early age. I remember competing with other family members to eat as much as I possibly could and I almost always ate until I felt uncomfortable. I would be secretive about eating the foods I thought my parents would probably not approve of me eating. I was always aware of the presence of food and was often asking myself how can I get more without others thinking I’m greedy or how can I avoid food altogether because everyone is watching me?
