Item 1
Central Tilba Growers Market
Stocky and Margaret approached TTT+ about obtaining priority booking of the Tilba Hall for the market.
We decided that this is a matter for the marketeers (not TTT+) to resolve and that we would approach Mardi and ask him if he would call a meeting to discuss it, and also to explore alternative venues and then to approach the Hall Committee to see if a satisfactory arrangement can be reached.

The inaugural meeting of the Transition Towns group representing our Triangle communities and Narooma, was held on Friday 20th June 2008, at “Love at First Bite” Central Tilba.
Attended by John Carter, Angela Marshall, Carolyn Wells, Peter Essex, Anne Wilson, Peter Doolan, Jo Lewis, Don Dornan, Ann Montague, and Karen and Gary Hooley.
Transition Towns is a concept and a movement to promote changes in local communities to address the challenges posed by Climate Change and Peak Oil. Peak Oil predicts a deminishing oil supply combined with an increasing demand that forces fuel shortages and rising prices as we are currently seeing now.
Our Transition Town group met to share thoughts and discuss ways of making our community more aware of the changes that are necessary to ensure we succesfully engage these challenges. By increasing local food production, reducing our energy use, and improving the efficiency of our transport. All agreed these were three key areas to focus on Food, Energy and Transport.
Thus, three Project Leaders were nominated to co-ordinate and disseminate information relevant to each of these sectors. They are Gary Hooley - Food , Don Dornan – Energy and Jo Lewis – Transport. If you wish to participate in, or provide information to, the Transition Towns Group for our area, please contact Jo Lewis on Phone: (02) 44737927 or email: rainbird(at)skymesh.com.au .
