'It is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.'- Eric Hoffer
Our goals are (as per The Transition Handbook):
= To bring people together, relaxing and learning new skills
= To build networks and move our community towards self-reliance and resilience
= To create a fundamental sense of ‘can do’ and feelings of positivity, creativity and empowerment
= To establish and nurture links between old and young as skills are passed on
= To organize practical and useful events
= To work with existing groups in order to share and draw on local skills
Facilitating the ‘Great Re-skilling’ is number 8 of the '12 Steps to Transition' so please join us for some learning, sharing and fun. We look forward to seeing you all soon with all your skills, creativity, talents and ideas!

Rosemary - do you have a cowl pattern we could follow or would you like me to ask Caroline to come up with one?

I would love to be in on this project. May I suggest also to knit cowls (long tubes that go over the head to give a warm collar around the neck).
Cheers Rosemary B

Hi!
I would have loved to come along and meet some people and get involved but i'm not here that weekend. The suggestion of a spinning and weaving weekend sounds really interesting. I'm an avid patchwork quilter,this doesn't have to be expensive using "specific patchwork" material(usually rather expensive),but can be a great way to use up old scraps to make something new. I used my sons old jeans to make a bedside rug for him. (sounds awful but it's not too bad!).
Hope to make it to the next meeting.
Kathryn

Hi, Renee
I can't come to next meeting on 14th May as I have committed to a Forest Walk in support of the Forest Commission who are facing redundancies.
However, I have some suggestions for future reskilling projects.
Spinning and Weaving - the spinners and weavers guild meet at the Quaker Meeting House at 11.00a.m. on Saturdays. Maybe they could give us a workshop.
Also pattern cutting for making clothes and for beginners how to make a simple garment.
Building techniques for building a roundhouse or something similar.
Hope this helps and I will see you next time.
Rosemary Bunting
