There was a short talk about how transition initiatives can work, a talk about the new East Clare LETS scheme (a kind of barter system), followed by an interesting discussion focussing on energy-saving, community gardens, community-supported farming, allotments, etc. Gathering in October was at Seedsavers with over 30 people, much discussion of ideas, music, pizza.
