Annual General MeetingTransition Sherwood held its second Annual General Meeting on 23rd September 2010. The meeting included reports and discussion of the group's activities in the past year, and a showing of the film 'Robert Newman's History of Oil'.
The film was informative, interesting, hard-hitting and funny all at the same time, and can also be seen one part at a time on YouTube. Get a taste of the film by watching the first part here... |

Community Food Garden path laid
In May 2009 British Trust for Conservation Volunteers from Nottingham and Derby created the path for the new community food garden. They dug out the earth, lined the path with geotextile and wooden surrounds, and filled it in with recycled aggregate donated by Wastecycle. See the Community Food Garden page for more information.

Coming soon - Garden Share
The Council's Sherwood Neighbourhood Office and Transition Sherwood are linking up to set up a garden share scheme in Sherwood. This will bring together people who have spare space in their gardens with people looking for space to grow food. Similar schemes are running in West Bridgford, Totnes and other Transition Town areas, as well as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's Landshare website at http://www.landshare.net/. We are setting this up during May and June 2010, ready to launch at the Sherwood Festival.

Tree Walk
A small group is working on a project linking transport with art and nature, starting in Autumn 2009. The idea is to encourage walking and to promote knowledge of trees, by a tree walk into the city through Sherwood – with trees along the route identified as a poetic sound-track that you can listen to while walking, plus a visual artwork perhaps. If you'd be interested in getting involved with this, please contact the group via the website.
