The arrangements look to have changed:

Best advice would seem to be to keep an eye on the website......

Looks like I'll be going along to this on Tues. Any more takers?

It would be great to catch up but it clashes with a community group meeting I am supposed to be going to. Rats! Will see if there is anything I can do.

Try to come along Andy, afterall, who needs community.

I believe you've met someone from my local transition group (South Ribble Towns). I was at a meeting this week and one person was talking about this guy he'd met at a talk in Accrington, and after a while I said "That sounds like Andy Hunt....!" Small world afterall.

Ah yes, small world indeed!! He said he would invite me up to give the talk but I haven't heard from him yet.

I'm not going to be able to make tonight unfortunately - pretty gutted actually but I can't get out of my community meeting. I am one of the Trustees of the group, it's the environmental sub-group which is meeting tonight and one of the agenda items is community planters for growing food, which probably won't get pushed unless I am there to push it.

Hopefully we will manage to get together for a few beers in the sun this summer though!!

I'll drink to that!

About 25 there last night & some interesting opinions on what the new political landscape will mean - even though it was still evolving as we were drinking !

Next one planned for Tuesday 8th June:
Topic: 'A choice for transport : Electro-Disco or hydrogen highway'

Good to meet fellow PSers Eternal Sunshine & Andrew-l again.
Would be good to meet some more at the next one.....

Argh, that one clashes with our next community meeting too!!

Yes good to see Mark again and meet Andrew for the 1st time.

I might be able to come to the next one, not sure tho as am working that day so it'll be a bit of a push getting over to Manchester in time.
