Wild Food Walk - 14 June

We've got a great event lined up for Sunday 14 June, so do put it in your diaries. There was a lot of enthusiasm at our Brainwave Bazaar event for learning about what wild food is growing under our noses, even in an urban setting.

So on 14 June at 2pm join us for a wild food foraging walk led by Roy Vickery of the South London Botanical Institute.

The walk begins at 2pm at Mycenae House and is free, with donations invited. Numbers are limited for practical reasons, so please email Dave at davesh AT btconnect.com to reserve a place.

Roy is a mine of knowledge on the uses and folklore of plants, having worked as curator of flowering plants at the Natural History Museum, so it should be a fascinating afternoon. Please email daveshATbtconnect.com (replace the AT with @) to register your interest, and we'll let you know details of the walk's meeting point soon. There will be a collection to cover costs, the amount up to you.

The 12 steps to Transition

TW is aiming for official 'transition status' - it would mean being given a wiki site hosted by the Transition Network, as well as other benefits such as big names from the movement being prepared to come and give talks here.

One of the criteria is that we as a group are well aware of the '12 steps to transition', which might sound a bit prescriptive but probably are common sense guidance based on the trials and errors of other, more established transition towns.

So here's the link to those 12 Steps for those interested. Feel free to comment here if you've got any thoughts on them.
