Manor House PACT stuff: festivals, training, meals, walks etc.

Transition Finsbury Park has recently helped get some lottery money for the Manor House area. Lots of the work is targeted at that area but there are some things Stroud Greeners will definitely enjoy. http://www.manorhousepact.org.uk/<br>1) FESTIVAL this will be in September to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the New River and will take place in Finsbury Park. Anyone wanting to get involved, please email "sarahape" at "gmail" dot "com" (sorry, just trying to confuse the spambots there!)<br>2) TRAINING: <u>Permaculture Intros</u>. Only £50/£20 or free if you volunteer with us. Next one is 18th & 19th May; <u>Creating A Forest Garden</u> 20 week accredited course. Again, you can pay by volunteering; <u>Plant Propagation</u> - happening later this year. Also accredited. More info here: www.ediblelandscapeslondon.org.uk/training<br>3) MEALS using food that would otherwise be wasted. Standard of cooking has been amazing. Next on is 10th May. Just turn up and help with the cooking (10) or the eating (12). Kind of a replacement for what Food Cycle was doing at Mind in Haringey. http://www.transitionfinsburypark.org.uk/PACTmeals<br>4) WALKS free foraging and wildlife walks along the New River. Second Sunday of the month, starting at 2, meet outside the Castle Climbing Centre. In partnership with London Wildlife Trust. http://www.transitionfinsburypark.org.uk/PACTwalks<br>There's other things as well, but these are the bits I know about.<br>

Jo, there is a thread further down this page where people are asking about Transition. Perhaps you might have a look, someone is keen to get in touch.
