Hello fellow Transition Towners and
folk who have recently registered interest through Nicole Foss or the Big
Pineapple!
Transition Nambour had monthly meetings
over the last couple of years. Since taking on the Big Pineapple Markets TT
stall during our summer recess a few things have changed in people’s lives, and
we are instead hosting a number of community events.
The next one for this year will be in
April: a pot luck dinner followed by an open space ‘conversation’ to discuss
where we might focus our energies and attention during the rest of the year.
We welcome folk from beyond (greater
Nambour) who are just interested or are getting ready to launch other local
Transition groups. It could be a rich and vibrant evening!
Venue to be confirmed and it will be
Tuesday April 17th, in Nambour. 5.30 for dinner (pot luck) – 8.30 .
We recently had a stall at the
Montville Sustainability Fair, and this resulted in an invitation to offer a
positive Transition perspective at the Coal Seam Gas rally at Mapleton last
Sunday.
At a meeting this week themed ‘Small is
Beautiful’ and hosted by Nambour Community Centre the Open Space process came
up with 3 topics: transport, ‘having no friends’, and transition equipment
(stuff that does not require fossil fuels or power)
We’d like to remind people about
preferential voting if you are voting in the State Election. You don’t have to
‘just vote one’. On the contrary, it is our democratic right to put
preferences, and in the case of closely contested seats, or where there are
Independent candidates it can make a huge difference.
