Transition Belsize

Hello Belsize,

There's a chill in the air but don't worry, we've got draught-busting workshops, tipples at the pub and lots of energizing outdoor activities to keep you warm, not to mention free snow shovels and cosy sheepswool slippers.

We'll be running a stall outside Budgens on Saturday 18th February from 10am to 2pm, promoting our groups, projects and upcoming events, and giving food-growing advice. If you'd like to come help set up the stall or introduce newcomers to Transition, please e-mail info@transitionbelsize.org.uk with your availability.

This special edition of the newsletter has been brought to you by our Draught Busters, who are looking for new team members and hosts for free workshops for Camden residents.

And we've got lots more fun events in the next few weeks, with mulching and apple-tree planting at the Fruitery, a leap year Transition Tipple and sheepswool slipper making!

Happy New Year to all!

We hope you all enjoyed the festive season. January is a good month for fresh starts, so if you haven't gotten actively involved in Transition Belsize yet, why not come along to one of our upcoming events? The Transition Tipple on Wednesday is a great place to start - come along for a drink and a chat. Or how about helping out with groundwork at our new Fruitery on Saturday 7th or getting active with a Winter Walk on Sunday 15th?

Hello all,

Please join us for our Seasonal Celebration at Oliver's Village Café (92 Belsize Lane) from 7pm onwards on Wednesday 14th December. There will be mulled wine and mince pies, as well as savoury snacks, and a choice of organic wines and beers. We'll be looking back on all we have achieved in 2011, and looking forward to creating a positive and very Happy New Year in Belsize. Everyone is welcome!

Dear Transition Belsize,

The leaves have fallen off the trees, the nights are getting longer and the wind is getting colder, but our newsletter is packed with plenty of great events to warm you up with seasonal cheer, not to mention workshops on draught busting and thermal curtain lining to help keep your house toasty and energy efficient.

Dear Transition Belsize,

We hope you all enjoyed the Green Fair on Saturday 24th September – we certainly did! Have a look at some photos here. You might have seen some of the furniture built out of discarded wooden pallets at the Green Fair - if you'd like to find out more, check out Pallet Furniture, started by one of Transition Belsize's members as a spin-off from TB activities. It's a boutique company offering distinctive solutions to reclaimed wood from pallets and any other wood wanting a second life. They are focused on being resourceful, creating beautiful functional design and inspiring others to see ‘waste’ in another light.
