Just a reminder that Simon Cunich will be introducing his documentary Growing Change at Transition Newcastle's next meeting: 7:15 Tuesday 29 November Hamilton Baptist Church 108 Lindsay Street.
It really feels like a lot is happening at the moment in Transition Newcastle. Nourishing Newcastle is going strong, and planning is progressing well for the Transition Streets Challenge and the Fair Share Festival. If you would like to become involved in any of these, please let us know.
Transition Newcastle has been given a free stall at the Activate Expo which is Saturday 15 - Sunday 16 October at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre. We need volunteers for the setting up the stall and staffing it (10:00 – 5:00 both days). If you can help (even if it is just for an hour or two) please let Graeme know on 0400 247 186 or graeme.stuart@newcastle.edu.au.
Transition Newcastle's visioning and planning weekend last month went well and we have quite a few projects to report on. There are many ways you can be involved and we would love to hear from you if you have some time and energy. In this edition of the newsletter you will find information about:
TN visioning and planning weekend (11-12 June 2011)
Newcastle faces a choice. Will we recognise we are in a period of transition and be proactive in creating a resilient community able to meet the challenges of climate change and peak oil? Or will we allow the changes to be forced on us through crisis?
Climate change, the carbon tax, and solar panels (but not peak oil) are frequently in the news at the moment. Many groups are getting active and there are many ways we can become involved.
