Dear {usertag:name}
This e-newsletter is being sent to the Food & Gardening Transport Environment Education Energy Building & Construction The Head and Towards Zero Waste Subgroups.
Welcome new member Kyle Bush.
Kyle writes: I am a recent graduate of Architecture at QUT and currently teach design there in a couple of disciplines. I have traveled and lived overseas for over a year and have been lucky enough to study sustainability and be involved in aid projects in Africa and building projects which looked at the use of waste material in construction in the UK. I am currently studying a Permaculture Design Course at Northey Street City Farm and am working toward transforming a post war home in Keperra into a productive climatically responsive dwelling using primarily found scavenged and reclaimed materials with the aim of making it an exemplar of sustainable residential design to be used for educational purposes. I am also a hobby photographer and have a couple of exhibitions lined up for this year one of which will be in Grub St Cafe on Samford Rd.
He also has a local business: Humble Be Workshop www.humblebe.net.au
Kyle and anyone else who isn’t yet aware of it we are in the process of preparing for the Ferny Grove Festival on Saturday 28th (noon to 4pm) at the Ferny Grove State School. Transition The Grove will be there with a 3-marquee area of displays and activities. The more of you who come along and spend some time in the marquee the better.
There are heaps of ways you can get involved. If you would like to send an email to eventplanning@transitionthegrove.org.au
One of the great things about the Transition The Grove joining process is that it is a way for people who would never otherwise have met to find each other to find people of shared interests and values. There are some remarkable people among the members.
Remember this association is not so much led as providing an opportunity for you to start something that you are passionate about for the local suburbs of Upper Kedron Ferny Grove Keperra Ferny Hills and Arana Hills. We are about building a resilient future and a vibrant community here together.
Don’t be slow about asking how you can start to take initiatives that you want to happen or to be put in touch with others locally with shared interests. The Groups tab now has good lists.
We are gradually exploring using group emails (the eventplanning is one such). It seems to take a bit of learning. Anyone can start sending one and it always goes to the whole group replies too. No-one owns the process – it is a local group of people making it happen and sharing their ideas and energy together. As I said: It takes a bit of learning but we’ll all gradually get there. And we don’t want to flood Inboxes. No-one likes that.
Remember the 28th.
All the best
Anne Tennock
