For those of you who follow unfolding events at **Transition Culture**, I thought I might mention an upcoming event in Wales at which I am speaking. As mentioned recently on BBC Radio Wales, there is strong momentum starting to build for a Transition Town Lampeter, much of the energy behind that coming from the farming community. The talk is entitled **”Preparing West Wales for a future without oil”**, and takes place on Tuesday 3 April 2007 from 4.00 till 8.30pm at the Arts Hall, University of Wales, Lampeter, and is intended to stimulate discussion around the Transition Town concept. It should be a great event.

Recently down in Totnes teaching part of the three week Climate Change course at Schumacher College, he also spoke in town as part of the TTT programme.

We haven’t done this before, but I thought you might be interested to see the Transition Town Totnes Bulletin that was sent out this morning. It gives a pretty good picture as to all that is happening in the project at the moment. Each Bulletin gets longer and longer as more and more initiatives spring up. It is produced roughly every month, but generally only when there is enough interesting stuff to say. As you will see below, it is a process starting to move in some intriguing directions…
