Info
The Transition Town model follows 12 steps. We're currently on steps 2 and 3:
1. Set up a steering group
2. Awareness raising - This stage will identify the key allies, build crucial networks and prepare the community in general for the launch of your Transition initiative - films, talks, articles, presentations in exciting groups are great resources!
3. Lay the foundations - This stage is about networking with existing groups and activists, making clear to them that the Transition Town initiative is designed to incorporate their previous efforts and future inputs by looking at the future in a new way.
4. Organise a Great Unleashing
5. Form sub groups
6. Use Open Space
7. Develop visible practical manifestations of the project
8. Facilitate the Great Reskilling
9. Build a bridge to Local Government
10. Honour the elders
11. Let it go where it wants to go...
12. Create an Energy Descent Plan

& Visionaries of a sustainable future.
London Permaculture Festival 2011- are looking for representatives from London's Transition initiatives to join the steering group, which will plan and commission next year's event. We're starting early, so we can
really make the festival as dynamic and inclusive as possible. Come along
to the meeting to offer your expertise & support, and please let others know who may be interested.
Last year’s event was a roaring success, attracting a capacity house of over 900 people. Next year promises to be even better.
Be a part of building a positive, sustainable vision for London.
Everyone welcome.
Our first meeting is on Tuesday, 14th December at 7-9pm
(or come at 6pm and bring some food to share).

www.LondonPermaculture.comSunday 12th December at 11.00am we are having our Estate Tree Planting day!
We are working with 'The London Orchard Project' and will be planting 6 unusual apple trees on the day.
We would like to invite as many people to come along and have a go at planting a tree - Also feel free to bring along, Mulled wine, Cider or Apple juice as it is all supposed to be a bit of a celebration!
I would be most grateful if you could spread the word about. It will also be a great opportunity to come and meet Katherine from our TRA, and others too.
Right off to go and put some posters up for it now!
Hopefully see you guys there!
Rich
thanks so much for letting us know about this! It's such a shame that it's on the same evening as our meeting. We have Alex coming to talk to us so I probably won't be able to get to the House on the Rock. If you are going, perhaps you could mention TTP if you get a chance?
Hope to see you soon, I will come along to see the estate plans on 15th!
Terry
