Our latest meeting at St james Church Hall on Thursday was to show the Rob Newman film 'The History Of Oil'. This is a thought provoking film presented in an entertaining half stand-up, half history lecture style. Rob challenges our understanding of recent history, especially with regards to the Middle Eastern oil-producing nations. The film succeeds in both it's aims of providing entertainment and information. Afterwards a discussion brought up a variety of issues concerning moving Transition Alnwick forwards and keeping Alnwick on the path of energy descent. Key issues brought up by the audience were planning constraints in conservation areas with regard to the installation of renewables, the use of the media to keep the Alnwick community informed about Transition Alnwick and the importance of remaining positive.
Next event: the relaunched Energy Group meeting on Thursday 16th July at 7.30 in St James Church Hall.
