Transition Town Training February 2010

Transition Sunshine Coast is running a Transition Towns workshop on 6 and 7 February (begins on the evening of the 5th) at the Bamboo Forest at Eumundi on the Sunshine Coast.

The two-day intensive workshop is for people interested in starting or joining a Transition Town initiative.

Learn how to go about it in a way that will create a successful, long-term initiative. Benefit from others' experience and discover how to become part of this rapidly evolving network of people creating real change in our communities.



The Bamboo Forest at Eumundi offers a great space for learning and networking with comfortable accommodation options nearby if needed.

This popular and proven Transition Town course is one not to be missed.

Spend time immersed in learning about Transition Towns and how others are Transitioning to a better future with like-minded people.



We kick the course off on the evening of Friday February 5 with a shared organic meal as we get to know each other a little better, then its straight into two full days of intensive learning, sharing, activities, games and discussion at the end of which you will leave with a toolbox of new skills, a list of contacts and most importantly a plan of action tailored to meet your particular needs.

If you are interested and would like to find out more - email Sonya at info@seac.net.au for a flier.

Feeling Seedy on a Sunday

Following yesterday's get together there definately seems to be enough interest in holding a seed saving day in Eudlo - our first official Seedy Sunday.

It would involve people bringing seed from their own gardens and then we all chip in to get it cleaned, processed, packaged, labelled and then shared among the group.

There will probably be a small fee per person, just to cover the costs of seed envelopes and plastic bags.



If you're interested in coming along and learning by doing - you're more than welcome. Email tteudlo@yahoo.com and I'll add you to the mailing list.

Transition Town Nambour anyone?

Transition Town Eudlo isn't limited to people living in Eudlo, in fact people come from far and wide to see what all the fuss is about this thing they call 'Transition Towns'.

People who live in neighbouring areas come along regularly to get a feel for what it's like and to see if they'd like to start a Transition Town in their own town.

We have people from Palmwoods, Mooloolah, Ilkley and Keil Mountain regularly attending and contributing to what's going on in Eudlo.

Others come because they're not sure if there is enough interest in their own home town to get one started yet.

Which leads me into (finally) this post...

Over time there have been people who've asked, "Is there a Transition Town in Nambour?", to date there hasn't been and unfortunately, these individuals haven't turned up on the same day.

So I'm putting the idea out there - would some Nambour folk like to start Transition Town Nambour?

I'm happy to help and you're still very welcome at the Eudlo meetings - but if there is enough interest in Nambour itself, and I suspect there would be, why not take the plunge and jump right in?

It fits very nicely with the whole revitalisation of Nambour after the loss of the sugar mill in town too. I think local council would be supportive of the idea as part of that whole project.

Contact me at tteudlo@yahoo.com or come along to the next Eudlo meeting on November 1 and meet face to face.

Cheers,

November meeting

The next get together for Transition Town Eudlo is Sunday November 1st.

We meet at 8.30am at Sweethearts Cafe in Eudlo.

It's an open meeting, whoever turns up on the day turns up. If someone from one of the groups (see the list on the right) is there they might give an update on what's happening, otherwise it's a time to get together, welcome new people and generally chat about transitioning and all that means.
