The Steering Group are now in the process of completing the
final paperwork for us to become an official Transition Town.
Hooray!! At last!!
Charles Mossman and Linda Lever went on a 2 day training last
weekend to help facilitate this. Charles has sent this short report
on their weekend:
Linda and I attended Transition
Town Training in Totnes over the 15/16 March. We learned:- how
to vision a positive future, plan an open space event, give
presentations on climate change and peak oil, how to build
resilience in the community, about worldwide belief
systems and the psychological models which can help us
understand what is really happening, how to set up and organise a
Transition Town organisation, and finally that the transition town
concept is inclusive and that everyone is needed to make their own
unique contribution. We met potential Transitioners from all over
the UK and as far afield at Portland, Maine, USA. It was inspiring
to see the message spreading so widely, so rapidly.
We hope to be sharing some of the
concepts and training exercises with interested members of the
group at a suitable time in the near future. We look forward to
planning some events to faciltate this and will let you know what
is happening in due course.
