Hi all,

Sorry for the late notice, but the Wgtn South groups is going along to the opening night of the Reel Earth Film Festival (put on by Forest and Bird) at the Paramount at 6pm, Thursday 20 November. $20 (includes free wine!). Call Paramount to book on 04 3844080.

Everyone welcome! I guess we'll be milling round upstairs just before the screening (sorry that's pretty vague, just come say hello if you think we look like TT suspects), and we'll probably go for a drink/cheap kai afterwards. Come along!

Legislation Design Interest Group

If the Transition Towns Movement is to succeed it needs a 'behaviour setting' of legislation that allows the goals of the movement to be achieved without  breaking the law.

Background

New Zealand has two different types of legislation. Originally legislation was written in the "Prescriptive'" style.

There will be trucks selling produce (similar to the Victoria St market). Additional to this will be a range of stalls; a community exchange forum; food; activities for kids, and live music/performances. The aim of the market is to improve access to cheap fresh produce, and to create a space where locals can meet, buy/sell/exchange/barter/fundraise, and therefore support each other and the local economy. If the first market is successful it is likely that a regular 1/week or 1/month market will be established.
