These numbers tell a story
Submitted by James Samuel on 25 January 2010 - 12:06pmOf course we all make our own unique story out of what we see, one that suits and supports our world view, but what I like about numbers is that it is easier to see things, then discuss how we see them and more easily challenge each other's perception.

We have had pot luck dinners every month in 2009 and really got to know one another. Edible garden tours have just started again and we have had no documentary films shown all the year. As a result we may have new members who don't really know our raison d'etre.
I have been putting out a regular newsletter and we now have over 150 on our mailing list. We have quite close contact with TTKapiti, with some of us attending their Seedy Sundays. My newsletters have often included some information on peak oil stories or climate change issues.
