Future events:
The food group will be organising another wild food walk on Sunday 31st August. Meet at the Kings Lock Tea Rooms in Aylestone Meadows at 3pm for a 4pm start. Read about the previous wild food walk below.
The food group will also be organising an event called Harvest Inspiration, most probably in late September, focussing on inspiration and ideas to get people growing food locally.
On Monday 8th September we're have our first evening event of the Autumn. This will take place at the Friends Meeting House on Queens Road, from 7pm until 9pm. The event will focus on what the ideas behind Transition mean for cities and in particular, on what can be done on the level of your local neighbourhood. Sarah Pugh from Transition Bristol will give a talk, and will let us know what has happened so far in Bristol, which became the first official Transition city in early 2007. We'll then discuss in groups what changes we'd like to make in our own communities to reduce carbon emissions and increase resilience.
On Thursday 11th September, the Leicester Partnership will be screening the Peak Oil documentary A Crude Awakening at Phoenix Arts from 2pm, and we'll be on hand with a stall and to take part in the discussion afterwards. Tickets are free - email debbie.hill [AT] leicester.gov.uk if you'd like to attend.
