Since the vision’s event at the White Rock Hotel we’ve been very busy and wanted to update you on our progress so far:
- We’ve started a Guerrilla Gardening group to look at which area/s in the town we could grow vegetables and flowers. This is partly ‘guerrilla’ and partly organized planting with the fundamental element of encouraging the targeted community to join in.
- We’re organising some Foraging Walks led by Ben Fairlight to learn what we can use around our countryside for food and good health. We hope to be walking, talking and enjoying a picnic partly made up of foraged food!
- We’ve arranged a visit to the Crowhurst Community Supported Agricultural (CSA) project (run by some of the original TT group) and usually there between 10-12 on Saturdays.
- We’re looking at visiting the Real Junk Food Café in Brighton soon. This is a project using left over food from shops etc, cooking it and giving it away! For everyone to enjoy and donate what they can….or nothing if they can’t.
- We’ve organised a talk on Energy Conservation & Alternative Energy Sources in Building by Ken Davis on 1st Aug at The White Rock Hotel at 11am-12.15pm, on a first come first served entry basis.
- Our Energy Group has met several times and has its next meeting on 30/7/15 at 7pm at Hastings Trust office at Silchester Mews, 17a Silchester Rd, St Leonards, TN38 0JB. All welcome.
- Next Core Group meeting is Monday 20/7/15 from 7-8pm at White Rock Hotel, and then from 8-9pm there will also be the first Local Economy Group meeting. Anyone welcome.
- Warrior Square Station Community Garden project. We have asked about the possibility of using the north side platform of St Leonards Warrior Square station for growing veg and flowers for the community.
Please get in touch if you want to get involved in any of the projects and activities.
