You may remember during the initial Transition Town talk in your town, I present a graph on cardboard ( permaculture powerpoint) from David that looks at 4 possible scenarios given the uncertain timing to our region of the effects of both Peak Oil and Climate Change. This workshop then fleshes this out in detail these scenarios and how principles and pathways need to weave through each to find strategies that work. Given the ultimate aim of any Transition Town initiative is to prepare an Energy Descent local plan, this information becomes vital if we wish to be resilient to what may lie ahead. Cost is $150 and includes all day meals. Please respond back to me if your able to attend - brogopg at bigpond.net.au On a broader note, its been nearly 18 months since South East Transition Towns began and so heartening the response that its generated. In so many localities throughout South Eastern Australia people are meeting, coming together to discuss and do all kinks of good stuff. Farmers Markets have started, Permablitz has raged, we have our own Transition TV outlet and in the Bega Valley, our own festival. It really is an unprecedented outpouring of grassroots community activism. We should all be very proud of what has been achieved. kind regards John Champagne _____________ From geoffrey at austcom.org.au Sun Sep 13 19:40:38 2009 From: geoffrey at austcom.org.au (Geoffrey Grigg) Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2009 19:40:38 +1000 Subject: [Transitiontown] Transition TV 9 Message-ID: <4AACBE16.702@austcom.org.au> An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We had been holding it in the hope that we could find a housing provider that would develop it as a group house for young people or students but no joy. So we are making it available for private purchase. This is an amazing opportunity to set yourself up for transition right in the centre of the Bega Valley only 5 mins walk from the Bega PO.
