Agreed priorities following PFAF meeting on 20 July 2008

(This list is based on an internal document with some details altered to avoid referring to people personally.)

1. Initiate the research project (see TOR) by asking for a scoping study to be carried out.

2. Looking at what the Charity might do to facilitate our founder’s planned move abroad, where he plans to extend his research into tropical plants with a view to creating a tropical plants database.

3. Seeking someone to take over management of the PFAF website and database.

4. Investigating the legal status and future development of the PFAF Land Club.

5. Resurrecting and managing the PFAF membership scheme.

6. Pursuing the possibility of getting planning permission for people to stay longer than is currently allowed on The Field, PFAF’s experimental site in Cornwall. This would require the preparation of a business plan to make the case for the site having commercial potential, probably for plant propagation and sales, and/or for further research into unusual plants which could usefully be grown, from which it may be possible to argue that the value of the plants and special tending they need does require 24/7 care for at least part of the year.
