Wellington Meeting Minutes 20080130

Second meeting 30 Jan 2008 held at Centre for Global Action

Outline of the meeting (feel free to add to this if you were there)

Community Currencies

Nicola spoke briefly about community currencies, suggesting that it would be good to upskill prior to Miguels visit in April so that we are able to make the most of his expertise on this subject. It would be great to screen "Money As Debt" at the next meeting (March 26th) and have a speaker lined up to answer questions afterwards. Will email round the group to check interest in this. » Read more

Meeting the criteria

  1. We have an understanding of peak oil and climate change as twin drivers and are writing them into our Governance document.
  2. We have formed a steering group of 8 people, 4 from Wellington and 4 from Lower Hutt and had our first steering group meeting.
  3. We are willing to attend a 2 day training course. Just not in Totnes obviously, so we are waiting on NZ training to be sorted out which we understand is coming along.

Nicolas Book And DVD Library

Wellington Inventory

This is where we will list all resources that we have in the Wellington area. It may be better to have suburb based resource pages, but let's start with this and see how we go.

Films and Books

Juanita has many DVD's she is happy to lend out, just email her. » Read more

Wellington Governance

The purpose of this page is to clarify the roles and governance of both the "Transition Towns of Wellington" and the steering committee. Of particular interest is the relationship between the TToW and the individual Transition initiative around the Wellington region (Karori, Lower Hutt, Newtown, Brooklyn, etc)
