West Bridgford in Transition - Time for change: Transition West Bridgford on Facebook

Four of the attenders: Tina, Jane, Jake and Julie

26 May '11: Transition West Bridgford had an AGM at the Test Match pub last night.
There may be a fuller report later. One of the resolutions was to have a Facebook site, even though only two of the attenders at the meeting currently have FB accounts.
It was felt that it would be a good thing for the future and would be a good forum for younger members. Here is the address, please https://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_207545082616920">join if you are a Facebook user:

12 Step plan

Set up a steering group and design it's demise from the outset. A core team to drive the project forward during the initial phases. Awareness raising. (see who is in the steering group)

Build crucial networks and prepare the community in general. Lay the foundations. Network with existing groups.
(pedals, Notts Wild life trust, Skills Exchange, WB Summer Gathering)

Organise the ‘great unleashing’. Create a memorable milestone to mark the project’s ‘coming of age’, moving the project into the community.

Form working groups. Set up smaller groups to focus on specific aspects of the process.

Use open space an effective approach to running meetings for Transition Initiatives.

Develop visible, practical manifestations of the project. Create practical, high visibility manifestations in your community.
(bike trailer hand out)

Facilitate the great re-skilling. Reverse the ‘great deskilling’ of the last 40 years by offering training in a range of skills.

Build a bridge to local government. Cultivate a positive and productive relationship with your local authority.

Honour the elders. Engage with those who remember the transition to cheap oil.

Let it go where it wants to go… Act as a catalyst for the community to design its own transition.

Create an Energy Descent Action Plan. Combine the practical actions to form the Energy Descent Action Plan.
