W.A.I.T. First Town Hall Meeting

We're Against Industrial Turbines (W.A.I.T.) has a post on the Town Hall Meeting of April 19th, 2012.

First Town Hall Meeting:

Our First Town Hall meeting was.....amazing! In my mind, I thought we might be lucky to see 100 people show up. Realistically, I thought maybe 50 might actually be there. After Wednesday night at Camlachie Community Centre, I had more hope to see, possibly as many as 300, if I allowed my imagination to stretch a little. Never in my life did I expect to see this Community Centre filled to standing room only.

Bill Wright led the evening and started with a video slide show of scenes depicting various aspects of wind farms. The text in the audio accompaniment contained approximately 17 facts that described the negative side of what wind turbines bring to a community--illnesses, decreased property values, unsightly to tourism and resident's daily view, to mention a few. The video was put together by Nathan Watson, the son of our current acting Chairman, Keith Watson. This young student, Nathan, did an excellent job of choosing the best images to match the discussion, and the sequence timing was perfect. The author and speaking voice was also from one of our members.
