Dear {usertag:name}

Please welcome new member Carmel Mazzeo. Carmel has joined the Recreation Business & Finance and Education Subgroups. 

She is the proprietor of Fabrics at Ferny – a stress free place to shop for fabrics and haberdashery as well as quilting and patchwork fabrics.

People often ask us what Transition The Grove is about what does it do? Well that is a work in progress! We are all learning about transition and what it involves.

However one of the things that has become clear is that Transition Towns are about local learning for the future in this place in this community.

Local learning for all of us for all ages. We’d like to see more and more focus on local learning opportunities in the upper Kedron Brook valley.

Fabrics at Ferny is one of our precious local small businesses providing our community with a valuable service. It is also one of our local learning centres for skills around sewing. We hope that Carmel will put the details of all the classes she offers on Transition The Grove’s Community Calendar so we can all be easily aware of them.

The skills and materials for making and repairing and creating will be very valuable in the future we think.

Warm regards

Anne Tennock

Subgroup Coordinator
