'In Transition' film screening - Friday 5th March

We are very excited about our screening of 'In Transition' - the film made to highlight what transition groups all over the UK and further afield are doing at grass roots level.

Invites are currently being emailed to local people who have community roles or who represent organisations - we want to make sure they know about it. If you think of someone who should attend - please invite them! Having said that, the film screening is open to everyone - so tell anyone you think may be interested.

After the film there will be opportunities for discussion before moving to the 'Market Tavern' pub where we have a room booked and sandwiches provided! The film will be screened at St James Church Centre, Pottergate, Alnwick at 7.30pm on Friday 5th March 2010.

Alan Beith MP is attending to find out more - we hope you will too!

In Transition - the film

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.
