A Transition Town Medly

As well as our event  on Tuesday with Incredible Edible Todmorden, there are also a couple of other events you may wish to attend, both of them arranged by Marsden and Slaithwaite Transition Towns.

 

The first, on Saturday 15th November costs £15 and involves films, food and  live music from 2 bands including Paprika Balkanicus……if their last event (a Cuban Night) is anything to go by it will be informative, great fun -  and will go on late into the night!

 

I have attached the poster. Tickets can be either collected in the town or organised by phone. 

 

There is also an opportunity to get involved with Permaculture (a way of building  ‘resilience’ through design and growing methods) through a weekend on November 29th/30th November with Andy Goldring, and I have copied in the information below.

 

The rather beautiful poster, also attached, tells  of a longer course to be held in the new year based in Hebden Bridge where there is also a fledgling Transition Community.  

 

Knitting

is great ….

But it takes so long I hear you cry…. well what you need is a knitting buddy to help you through the hard times when that scarf seems to going on for ever.

Huddersfield has two knitting groups that meet to share knitting stories.

There’s Yarn that meets at Cafe Evolution – the one by the park – more details forthcoming

Try the one that meets in the Oak Rooms Byram Arcade (you need to come in the back door) 6.00 pm till 8  every other Wednesday – check the calender for details.

For knitting you will need knitting needles and wool and perhaps a pattern - click here for stockists

The above are american bears knitted from recycled wood died with Kool Aid – I think thats some kind of drink…click on the image for more inspiration…

Tuesday 22nd July starting at 19.30 – Brett Fletcher has arranged the Friends Meeting House, Church Street, Huddersfield HD1 4TR (“Google” it for how to get there)

David Browning will lead the early discussion by developing some of the ideas on food projects that we discussed at the last meeting and exploring the future potential of the Kirklees allotments strategy.

We will also discuss the possibilities for the Transition Town “awareness event” which we plan to run with Kirklees Environmental Partnership possibly on a Saturday in October. Finally, we will start to address the question “how to start a Transition Community” that has now been asked by people from several local neighbourhoods in the town and its environs.

There will be a couple of copies of the Transition Handbook* (essential, broad ranging and readable) for sale at the next meeting, and also a copy available to borrow on the understanding that it is brought (or posted) back in time for the next meeting.
