Our Pot Luck Dinners are the most popular Transition Town Hastings events. People + food making the best combination.
Everyone brings such tasty, varied, wholesome and delicious food to share!
It’s free, it’s fun and it’s fruity! (Well, actually it’s not usually very fruity at all – more cake than oranges!).
Please do come and join us with a dish or drink or snack of your choosing, pull up a chair, make some new friends and enjoy just hanging out.
Our regular monthly meetings discussing projects, promotion, partnerships, events and much more!
All welcome.
We bring you another FREE swap shop, this time with a difference…
Part in the Illuminating West Street: A Winter Salon, come down and you might get some free Christmas presents or just pop in for some festive tea and cake!
Please donate your unwanted, quality, arty and crafty curiosities that others can give on for presents and/or pick up some pre-loved presents… All FREE…
We’ll be on hand from 1pm for donations ONLY. Swap STARTS at 2pm. We’re grateful for all donations but have some rules: Think SIZE (no bikes, beds or bathtubs), SAFETY (no knives or weapons) and SOCKETS (no electricals)! All items MUST be 100% free and from domestic sources only.

An English Guide to Birdwatching
http://podcast.freud.org.uk/e/an-english-guide-to-birdwatching-adam-phillips-in-conversation-with-nicholas-royle
Dazzling in its linguistic playfulness and formal invention, An English Guide to Birdwatching explores the rich hinterland between fact and fiction. In its focus on birds, climate change, the banking crisis, social justice and human migration, it is intensely relevant to wider political concerns; in its mischievous wit and wordplay, it pushes the boundaries of what a novel might be.

A number of local community groups working on issues relating to transport and the environment have been looking at ways of sharing information, working collaboratively and to act as a focal point for consultation and engagement on matters related to sustainable transport with other public and private bodies.
The Hastings Sustainable Transport Forum is now being launched as the culmination of that work. This body will be meeting on a quarterly basis to consider developments and liaise with public bodies to improve engagement and consultation.
All welcome.
