Living Life Locally

The return of the Transition film festival in a less daunting format, a trip to Newcastle Transition Town’s Open Space meeting, a presence at the Living Smart Festival and an option for sale of excess locally grown vegetables are the activities for the group this month.

The movie Food Inc will be shown on Monday 13th at 7-9 pm at the Hall. The format is only one movie with a chance to discuss it over a cup of soup and damper. If you’re interested in what you eat, this movie is sure to get you thinking.

Rishi and Gunjan at the Lucky7 Convenience store at Carey Bay are happy to negotiate a price for locally food grown vegetables or fruit. This is a great opportunity to share your harvest excess with the local community and recoup a few dollars for the effort.

A trip to Transition Town Newcastle’s Open Space meeting is planned for Tuesday 28th September. We’ll be car-pooling, of course, leaving about 6.15pm. Contact Ian for pick up details on 4959 7517.

Future ‘Transition’ events will continue on the 2nd Monday of the month and include another film night on 11/10/10 and an end of year gathering on November 8th at 7pm.

The Arts & Craft Show planning is underway and shaping up to be a great social gathering. The Opening Night is Friday 26th November, with viewing and sales over the weekend 27-28th . If you’re interested in submitting work or assisting with making it happen contact Barbara on 4959 1259 or come to the Hall Friday 10th September at 2pm and meet the planning group.
