Next meeting Wednesday 12th October

We discussed at the last meeting what might be fun and useful to do at our next meeting. We decided it would be good to focus in on the coming festive season and what we can do to cut the cost of it both to our pockets and the environment. So we are bringing ideas together for things like recipes using local ingredients, presents and wrapping using recycled materials and other novel ideas for a more meaningful festive season. I'll bring along a sample and recipe for a sugar and oil scrub which I learned to make recently and it was really good for the skin and very therapeutic - cheap and easy! So come along and bring your ideas/samples. We would love to gather together the ideas and circulate them to everybody on the transition Alnwick list and put them here on the blog so even if you can't make the meeting we would love your ideas to share!

As ever we are welcoming any other ideas for activities and actions we can work on locally to make our communities stronger and more resilient. We are thinking of organising a trip to a permaculture co-operative soon to see how some people are working on meeting the challenges but we need you and/or your ideas so don't be shy!!!
