Transition Island Meeting In Ventnor

The Urgent Challenges of Peak Oil and Climate Change
Transition Island, the local branch of the national community action network, will host a meeting in the Winter Gardens on Monday 3rd March.
These meetings, held in different Island towns, allow local people to hear about the Transition Towns project. Vav Simon, from the Transition Island Steering Group, said “Each town can address its own issues. Local people know best what is needed and how things can be developed with support from the neighbourhood. There is a great deal townsfolk can do”.
Vav will outline the problems and describe projects that other towns are starting. An open group discussion will identify local issues and make suggestions about tackling them. After sharing these issues, people will be encouraged to start a Transition Town Ventnor group.
Although some research says that the British are slow to act on these challenges, Vav said “Our initial meeting in Newport last October was a resounding success. Almost everyone present wanted to get involved. This is an exciting opportunity to offer meaningful help for the future of your town – and the Island, too!”
Please bring a crowd to this meeting: it is free, and starts at 7pm, closes at 9pm.
