Transition Southampton

Transition Southampton and Eastleigh Transition Network have teamed up with Cyclewise and local resident Martin Davis, to run a community bike ride through Hamble and Netley, showcasing local farm shops. The reason for this is that there is the huge Bursledon Tesco, but just around the corner are three fantastic local and independent farm shops, selling delicious local produce. On this cycle ride we aim to visit these three shops, allow time for some small shopping, and then hopefully (if the weather’s nice), go for a picnic along the coast of Hamble/Netley. So if you like cycling and also enjoy local, fresh food, join us on Sunday May 27th. Meet at Woolston station (Garton Road, Southampton, SO19 2DJ) at 9.45am, leaving at 10am. If you are driving there with bikes on the car, there is free parking at the station. You must reserve your space on this ride, so please book your place here.

Transition Southampton are running a series of talks held at the Art House that focus on practical actions that we can take to reduce our own energy usage. The topics will range from "How to live green as a family--avoiding pester power" to "Eating Local - how one couple ate locally for a month" to "Creating a green home--one experience of retrofitting" and other topics, ranging from energy to built environment to food and ethical consumerism. For more information about the series of talks, please see here.

The talks will be monthly on a Tuesday from 7:30pm upstairs at The Art House. For our next talk we'll hear from Clare Diaper about water usage, how we can save at home, and what impact it has. Join us on Tuesday 12th June.

At the end of each talk will be a chance to ask questions, or have a chat with other Transition-minded folks.

This is one to put in the diary, folks!

If you have an idea for a talk or workshop that you'd like to see, please e-mail courses @ transitionsouthampton [dot] org with your suggestions.
