Here in Falmouth we are starting on the journey of designing for a happy and sustainable future post peak oil. We are following the model of Transition Towns already successfully being worked firstly in Kinsale and presently Totnes.

Meetings have already taken place at The Town Council Chambers and in the Town. We are planning a programme of fortnightly meetings, each to include a film and discussion, interspersed with attending events organised by other local groups.

Skilling up for power down

TTF: Transition Town Falmouth Next Meetings:

• Fri 3rd Nov: contact us for time and location. Film first: “End of Suburbia”, followed by a quick brainstorm (how we want to see Falmouth in 30 years) to cheer ourselves up!!

• Thurs 30th Nov. WI Hall. 7:00.

• Fri 15th Dec. WI Hall. To include our Power Down Xmas (more ideas please).
