We will share initial reactions to this pamphlet and make arrangements to take the debate forward. We intend to set up groups to look in detail at the questions which emerged from the Seminar. These groups will present their results to a major Conference which we plan to hold in late 1999 or early 2000. The Conference will listen to the results from the groups and will see what is to be done. It may be that we will work in with the Sustainability Strategy for Jersey which is being prepared now .

The Seminar, Jersey - Past, Present and Future took place on October 24th 1998.
