Our World Café evening on Thursday 20th May, went extremely well. Topics up for discussion ranged from Food Supply Resilience, Water security, Sustainable Transport, Trees and how we can plant more Nut and Fruit trees in our open spaces, Allotments, How will we be heating our homes in a Post Peak oil world and Reskilling.

Latest results from Captains, Springers and Ovens show good quality water, see attached table. I have included South beach results as well. We hope to include a sample from the North beach for our next sampling date 14/6/2010. Thanks again to the samplers.

Fast forward to about 35 minutes to see the clip of the story of the revamp of the Springboards to make it accessible to all.
Congratulations to all involved.
