Fun and Learning at Transition Harborough AGM

A great evening last night at the Transition Harborough AGM. A great vegan dinner at The Greenhouse  with excellent company from the Transition Harborough supporters. We were joined by Ben and Sam from Greenfox Community Energy Co-op with whom we exchanged ideas and information about what they do and the possibilities for the lottery funded Sustainable Harborough Challenge with Transition Harborough's partners.

The highlight was a fascinating presentation by Chris Stoate from the Allerton Project which researches, farms commercially, and influences policy in terms of sustainability and the trade offs between agricultural production, wildlife support, and game management. Chris is also a trustee of the Welland Rivers Trust which means there is a shared interest with Transition Harborough because of the Trust's work in and around Market Harborough which involves a project to the value of £500,000.

After an exciting year for Transition Town Market Harborough, "The best" said Chair/Facilitator Rev Brian Davis quoting US President Barack Obama, "is yet to come".
