Alnwick Freecycle Group

A forum to give stuff away that you no longer want and get things from others that you have a use for.....

I have been asked to let you know that the original Alnwick group has been taken out of Freecycle by the moderators (we don’t know why). It is still operating, but is in breach of copyright in doing so. There is a new Alnwick Freecycle Group (no longer operated via Yahoo) which you can join. It is looking for moderators - perhaps one of you with a particular interest in waste might be interested in doing this! Join the Alnwick Freecycle Group.


Anyone registered with the old group will need to join the new group.

If you are interested in being a moderator contact Cath Bryce at northeast@freecycle.org

In Transition - the film

A still from the film showing some children creating a plastic sculpture

On Sunday the Transition Alnwick steering group travelled to Hexham to see a screening of the new film developed by the Transition Network. The event was organised by Transition Tynedale - so we got to meet some likeminded people and share ideas and anecdotes about what has been happening in our local area.

The film outlines the development of the Transition concept in the UK and gives examples of villages, towns, cities and islands that have embraced the idea. There are now communities following the Transition principles all over the world and the film demonstrated the diverse range of activities that people are engaged in.

We were so impressed with the film that we'll be ordering our own copy of' 'In Transition' very soon - we'll keep you posted about screenings.
