Film: The Power of Community

Glossopdale in Transition will be showing the film The Power Of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil, on Monday 23rd July 2012at The Oakwood at 8PM, after the People's Kitchen.

Anyone who wants to eat excellent vegan food (with a Middle Eastern theme I believe) for the most excellent price of £2.50 needs to book ASAP with the People's Kitchen by emailing peopleskitchenglossop@gmail.com or via their Facebook page.

The bar will not be open so bring your own drinks.

You don't have to eat to watch the film.

The Power of Community is a film we first showed last year. People said they wanted to see it again and also that now we are up and running as a potential Transition Town it will be more relevant as it is packed full of practical schemes to reduce our use of oil.

Glossopdale in Transition is Unleashed!

The old steering group
Thank you to everyone who came to the World Cafe last night.

We had a good discussion and at the end various people signed up to be on the Steering Group or to carry out more work on Transport, Local Economy, Food and Ecology, Inner Transitions and Transition in Your Street.

Those of you who signed up should be getting an email in the next week. If you don't, or if you want to join a group, email: transitionglossopdale@sky.com.

People also requested information on various topics such as how to switch to an eco-friendly electricity provider or how to get to Sheffield by bus (via New Mills is the answer...). I'll be putting up links and informtion here in due course.

Glossopdale in Transition is now off the ground and what happens next is up to you.
