4. Joss said that as she had been selling seedlings from her home she

had been repeatedly asked for advice on making small garden plots.

Queried whether there was interest in arranging a workshop on home

gardening - particularly for older people. Garden group to be asked

to consider and bring back to the next meeting.

of e-mails she was forwarding was okay. We agreed that it was.

She has a number of Transition Town posters which she will put up at

the Library, The Homestead and some commercial points around Pt Chev

survey with his students. An opportunity for everyone to compete the

survey. He will forward address to Yolanda for circulation.
