After a few months of organising, we had the most amazing Totally Locally launch on Saturday 1st October on the Melton Road. The weather was hot and hundreds of people came to find out what it means to shop local rather than buying from a supermarket or online.
Transition West Bridgford had their stall as well promoting Rushcliffe Solar, The Eco house Group and a little bit further in the market the Abundance project and the Skills Exchange where members of the Skills exchange pressed 20 litres of apple juice for people to sample and bottles to buy. All the funds raised have gone back into the community.
There was a real buzz in the air and no doubt this initiative will benefit the whole of our community if people are willing to divert a fiver from their normal supermarket shop into the local independent businesses. See the Totally Locally website for pictures and information
