I can't come on the 29th but please keep me informed as I'd love to come on the land-search cycle ride!

Hi just got back from two and a half weeks in scotland without internet access so need to get on the agenda for next week. Any items please either message me individually or post on this forum. Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks, see you next wednesday,

I've booked the 5-ways resident's association hall - at Weston House on Winchester avenue for a meeting on 29th Sept. I can bring a projection screen and projector. Do people want to start at 7pm? George

How about we make it Wed 29th and combine with Paul S's presentation on food supplies?

Hi Paulette, I'm keen to come to this meeting and in particular to help with the bike tour. I can make either of those dates, but not the week after.
Comment by Michael Stuart on September 2, 2010 at 23:17
I can do both dates
Comment by Paulette Singer on September 2, 2010 at 22:35
Hi All,
Suggested dates for the next food group meeting. We need to get together to discuss the bike tour to visit potential local food growing sites, discuss potential other projects amongst other things. Any suggested agenda please contact me either directly through this site or on this thread.
Evening meeting, same place as last time next door to the Lexi cinema
Tuesday 28th 7pm
Wednesday 29th 7pm
Myself and Ash can't make Thursdays, happy to do the meeting earlier or later, can't remember what time we met last time.
We will be in Scotland for the next couple of weeks so we will just have to go with the date that gets the most positive responses; when I get back I will confirm the date. We can always do a week later as well if more suitable but the sooner the better to get stuff going.
See you all at the end of September.

Hi everyone,
I run one of the first ever organic carbon neutral farms and once a month we deliver our meat boxes in London - look up Fieldpower in www.BigBarn.org.uk.
The next delivery will be on Wednesday 29th September and I would like to take this opportunity to show you all on that day a presentation on how we changed in four years from townies and non-farmers to 'Transition farming'.

Recently I presented this story at The Royal Agricultural College and also at the last Transition Network International conference, where it was received enthusiastically as an inspirational real life story.

More information at www.TransitionNC.org (click on Food Directory/Cottage Farm)

We are also contacting other organic farmers with a view to extend our monthly carbon free deliveries to London and distribution to individual addresses and/or distribution points, to extend the range of available produce.
All within the new Transition Twinning concept of partnerships between rural and urban Transition Groups for food supply, home swaps for holidays, working holidays on farms, ideas and enthusiasm sharing, etc, etc. We hope this will develop into a realistic, low cost, zero carbon food conveyor from rural to urban areas, as well as many other forms of co-operation: http://www.transitionnetwork.org/projects/transition-twinning

I'll just need a projection screen or a white wall plus about an hour of your time and we can devote as much time afterwards as you need for questions.
Best wishes
Paul, Cottage Farm
