First Pot Luck Dinner a great success!
A great evening was had by everyone who made our first Pot Luck Social. Thanks to all for making it so special! Great food and exceptional company. Many new faces too.
There was a short session to tell people about transitioning and what the group in Hastings and St Leonards have achieved over the last year.
We discussed ideas for the future and ways the group can develop. Contributions included an update on the Greenway Group plans for Ore Valley, news on the Blueprint project for St Leonards and Zoom Arts new space at St Leonards Warrior Sq station.
A superb evening at Transition Town pot luck meal.Great to catch up with so many people.

Fruit tree planting at the community garden
Fruit trees donated by Keeper’s Nursery were planted last weekend at the community garden. Newly planted and young trees require frequent watering and we’ve been able to take a supply from the Southwater Community Centre. We’re really pleased to have support from the centre, although we hope to be installing water butts and collecting run off from a gulley on the slope near the tunnel.

One of our members, Julia Hilton, an artist and landscape designer has developed the plan which includes a small orchard, fruit bushes, flowers, herbs and vegetables.
On February 21st, volunteers planted a selection of fruit trees donated by Keeper’s Nursery in Kent.

Energy meeting minutes – Thursday 28 Jan
It was very inspiring meeting and underlines what a broad range of interest and expertise there is in the community.
The minutes are quite detailed – mainly because we covered a wide range of potential local projects that we could promote, preferably with the backing of Amber Rudd (A divestment fund for energy, a school booklet, a Big Switch, a District Heating or Hospital scheme, an Open Homes event…).

St Leonards Warrior Community Garden clearing days
Transition Town Hastings volunteers kick started the St Leonards Warrior Community Garden Project on Sunday 20th December.
We cut back the grass and bramble on either side of the steps to the north platform and chucked away all the rubbish. We found 5 unopened bottles of beer, two road traffic cones, bits of an old TV, a bucket, several pairs of shoes, a frisbee and at least six bags of recycling. One of the many drinks cans had a sell by date from 1987!
The next session is Sunday 3rd January from 10am-1pm. If you are free, please join us with your garden tools.
Happy Christmas everyone.
Please check our events section for more sessions.
