Eudlo Summer Market and our Christmas Break

The Eudlo Summer Market has been and gone for 2009 - here is a photo of our stall just after we'd set up.

First time we've had our lovely new banner on display too - kindly made by Maria - thank you.



There will be no Transition Town Eudlo meeting for January - it's just too hot and too close to Christmas, New Years' and Woodford.

First meeting for 2010 will be on Sunday February 7 at Sweethearts Cafe in Eudlo from 8.30am.

Over the Christmas break there will be the start of community planning to put forward to council for the Eudlo Energy Descent Action Plan, so if any of you would like to be included, please email me on tteudlo@yahoo.com and I'll add you to the mailing list.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,

Eudlo Markets

Transition Town Eudlo will be at the Eudlo Town Markets this Sunday December 13.

Visit our stall for a chat, we'll have herb and self-sufficiency books and permaculture calendars for sale, and we'll be running a worm farming workshop at 10am.

I'll have information about the sustainability workshop I run from home too.

The markets are held in and around the Eudlo Town Hall, easy to find in the main street of Eudlo, and run from 7am to noon.

Food and good coffee available too, do your Christmas shopping locally.

Cheers,

Eudlo Seed Savers

We're pleased to announce the start of the Eudlo Seed Savers Group. Officially kicked off at this morning's meeting, the group will work within the national seed saving network to promote seed saving, plant propagation and non-hybrid, organic, open pollinated seed saving.




There was also a lot of interest in local bulk buying groups that already exist - whether organic meat, biodynamic milk shares or community supported agriculture, there is already a lot happening that we can tap into.




Our next meeting will be on Sunday November 1 at 8.30am at Sweetheart's Cafe in Eudlo. If you are interested in being involved or finding out what is happening in Eudlo, please come along. We also welcome visitors and guests from neighbouring communities:

Nambour
Palmwoods
Kiel Mountain
Mooloolah
Buderim
and beyond

Cheers,

Meeting this week

[Above: a display of the types of foods we'll be ordering through our food co-op]

This Sunday is our regular meeting for Transition Town Eudlo. Hopefully it won't be too rained out - we've had some localised flooding overnight and yesterday.

We meet at Sweetheart's Cafe in Eudlo at 8.30am for a coffee, a catch up and a chat. You're welcome to come along if you are interested in Transition Towns.

We'll also be able to talk about the very successful Local Food Forum we had last weekend at Palmwoods. I've attached some photos here.

[A photo of the crowd, about 140 people turned up, and a photo of some sweet potato plants we have for sale]





Our Sunday morning meetings are very social, often with new people turning up wanting to know about the group or Transition Towns in general.

Some people also come to our meetings because they are thinking about moving to Eudlo and want to get a feel for the town.

There aren't many community groups you can turn up to and find out such things, so that's yet another need that TTs fill.

[Below: a photo of the mind map I put together on local food solutions]

Eudlo Autumn Market

Here are some photos from today's very successful Autumn Market - hot off the press!



Our stall was a combination of fresh local produce from our own gardens, cooked local goodies, hard to find food plants, information on cooking and bread making courses and permaculture and transition town courses, plus lots more.



Lots of people signed up to join the Eudlo Food Co-operative, so that looks like taking off!



And Ann and Bill's beautiful Gypsy Wagon attracted a lot of attention too.

Cheers,
Sonya

Market this Sunday

The Eudlo Market is looking like a great day. It's on this Sunday March 15 from 7am in the Eudlo Town Hall. Transition Town Eudlo will be there with information and resources about Transition Towns, climate change and peak oil.

We'll also have some local produce to sell - local organic home grown food, plants and other goodies.

Hoping the weather holds off and we get lots of visitors. Will take some photos and let you know how it all goes.

Cheers,
Sonya
