Looks like it's just the of two us. Just goes to show how little publicity this is getting. Useless politicians in the hands of the Old Energy corporations. Plus they don't want to cause a panic, because the corporations and banks don't like turmoil. Shocking lack of responsibilty.

Hi you good folks of North Cornwall and Devon.
I got involved with starting up Transition North Cornwall (www.TransitionNC.org). Do have a look and leave a message, even if you outside the immediate area.
Thanks

Thanks for the welcome PaulS.
I will have a look at the transition site link shortly.
Already looked at Lostwithiel transition group but haven't yet managed to get to a meeting.

Just a quick update.
I will definitely be attending the next transition Lostwithiel meeting.
I have been reading all about Permaculture and now realise we already partially practice it!
Thanks again for that link PaulS.

Hi Hagrid and welcome. Have you just moved in?

I am giving a presentation at a meeting in North Devon at Pickwell Manor near Georgeham on 17th October about our organic farm powered by renewable energy: http://www.transitionnc.org/node/12/2676#comment-2676.

Feel free to turn up - same for anyone else nearby.
