Past Events

GREENPLANETFM INTERVIEWS JAMES SAMUEL & FINN MACKESY ON THE URGENCY OF TRANSITION TOWNS - This <interview> has been recorded on 27 November 2008 on Planet fm with Tim Lynch. It is an exploration of opportunities and challenges in these times of change through the lens of Transition Culture. James and Finn always are inspiring speakers and communicate their ideas with passion and clarity.

Monthly Meetings

The first 15 minutes of each TPC meeting will be a 'Marketplace'. This is where you bring things from home that you've grown, made or pulled out of a cupboard and don't want anymore. We also welcome information about local sources of food and other products that fit with the overall aim of TPC. No money will change hands, people are encouraged to give away or swap what they have to offer. Small scale co-ops may spring up as a result of information sharing and bulk ordering.  Fill us in on your secret sources of local products and bring anything you have to give away or swap!

First meeting for the new year in 2009, all at 7.30pm on the second Tuesday of the month: February 10.

If you have advanced items for the agenda, please contact the chair of the appropriate meeting.
