Film Night with Transition City Manchester and Manchester Permaculture

Transition City Manchester and Manchester Permaculture present....
 
An exciting debut Film Night, Monday March 29th, 6.30pm - 9.30pm 
Screening Rob Hopkins new film 'In Transition' and Farm For A Future.

 

This is the first screening in Manchester of the new 'In transition' DVD, which explains what the transition movement is all about, and what we can do for our future - bringing together peak oil, climate change, and permaculture in one evening. 

We will also be showing some extracts from Rebecca Hosking's A Farm For A Future, which was broadcast on BBC2 last year. This film covers peak oil, the Transition movement, and showcased a number of permaculture farms and smallholdings in the UK as future sustainable farming.
 
Film showings will be augmented with slides and discussion around energy decent transition, the future of food, and media approaches to these issues.

As is traditional with permaculture network events, please bring food to share - veggie or vegan preferred.

The venue for this event is the excellent Madlab, 36-40 Edge Street, Manchester, M4 1HN in the Norther Quarter (just opposite Common).

This event is free but we will be collecting donations to go towards venue costs. 

Important: in order to avoid overcrowding, you are required to book a place at this event. To do so please click on this link. You do not have to print out a ticket, we will have a guest list on the door.

 

Gardening this spring & forseeable future in Birchfields Park

Dear perma-learners and all,

If you can, please join Friends of the Park at the Birchfields Park Forest Garden this Sunday at 1pm for an hour or two.  As well as tending the plants and boundaries, we'll be planning which evenings to have our regular gardening sessions during Summer Time and taking stock of progress.  See local projects for more info! 

Also at the MPN planning meeting last month we thought an MPN event at the Forest Garden in the mid-summer would be good so let us know if you could get involved with this, what practical activities you'd like to do and when. Perhaps an evening event might engage more potential gardeners than a weekend one and the Hulme Community Garden Centre could get involved then...

Hoping to see you on Sunday afternoopn or Monday evening

with best wishes for a wonderful springtime from Jane 0782 798 0684
