Hi Katy,

Good to know, we're having our first Southwark FoE meeting of 2010 next Tuesday 12th January at 7.00pm at the Herne Tavern. The theme will be 'Growing your Own' and will feature speakers on Forest Gardening, community growing projects, and a speaker from Food Up Front on making the best of unused outdoor spaces.

Will be sure to mention your Food Group meeting on the 30th then - hope to see you there.
Jim

Hi Jim
Thanks for this info. I take it that the meeting on the 8th is a Friends of the Earth meeting. Thanks for the alert. Transition Town Peckham had a great meeting with the Energy Saving Trust yesterday, generating lots of great ideas and enthusiasm that will help to kick-start our carbon reduction plan. It's great to know people are really taking the energy issue up locally, and to hear about further funding opportunities. Those with an interest in food, please note, we're hoping to kick-start a TTP food group in January. Please drop us a line via the website, if interested. Many thanks.
Katy

Hi,

Our next meeting is on Tuesday 8th December, 7.00pm @ The Herne Tavern, 2 Forest Hill Road.

Southwark Council officers will talk about the latest plans for their ‘Home Energy Efficiency Programme’, following on from their successful recent pilot scheme in the Sunday Gardens/Red Post Hill area. Jenny Jones, Southwark Councillor and Green Party member of the GLA, will also be on hand to answer questions.

AND! Southwark's Cleaner, Greener, Safer fund is currently open for applications to fund eco-related projects for next year. Bring along your suggestions and we'll see if we can help with the application.

Cheers,

Jim

Hi Felix

Thanks for posting yet another great film. Lots going on in Brixton - and lots going on in Peckham! If anyone's interested in getting involved with any of our new energy/general sustainability projects, which will be running in partnership with two environmental charities, or in manning a TTP stall in Peckham on the 21st and 28th, please do drop us a line via here, or via our website http://ttp.giving.officelive.com/default.aspx A copy of our newsletter can also be found on our own website.

Many thanks

On Saturday 31st October, the Mayor of Lambeth took part in a B£ shopping spree, that started off at Morleys of Brixton department store where the Mayor got himself some B£s.

Next on the list was A&C Continental, Portuguese deli on Atlantic Road, from which the Mayor emerged with a bag of goodies, including herbs and onions for his dinner. From there the Mayoral convoy, made up of a number of B£ supporters and onlookers, moved to the Arcades market for a stop at Wa Zo Bia, African food store, to buy some chilies, and then across to Secondo, vintage clothes outlet, where the Mayor picked up a very cool jersey.

From there, and with many hello-stops at regular intervals, the Mayor reached Nubian Natural Body Care, on Atlantic Road, where B£s came handy in the purchase of some scrumptious salt crystals. Next it was Diverse Gifts, on Atlantic Road, and finally over to Stuart the Watchmaker, on Pope Road, before the Mayor said good bye to the team and headed off to his next engagement. No doubt those bath salts would have come handy that evening.

The shopping spree was a fantastic success in promoting participating businesses and the B£, with passers-by and shoppers out and about in Brixton.

The Big Lunch features Bellenden Road in Peckham SE15, Tuba, Bunting ,Birthdays , Community, Carved Water Mellons, Food and New friends what a fantastic day.

Basically, it's a party in your street, in everyone's street. On 19th July we're asking the people of Britain to stop what they're doing and sit down to lunch together. Why? Well for lots of reasons really but mainly to put a smile back on Britain's face.
