Been a while since we had a competition, so here goes. Unfortunately it is not one of interest to everyone, as you have to be able to make it to London on November 22nd in order to make use of the prize. We are giving away two tickets to Richard Heinberg’s talk, **”What Will We Eat When The Oil Runs Out?”**, which is this year’s Soil Association Lady Eve Balfour Memorial Lecture, to be delivered on Thursday 22nd November at Central Westminster Hall, London at 6pm. To avail of your two tickets for this landmark event, simply answer the fiendishly difficult question below.

After ASPO, I had the great honour of embarking on a brief whistle-stop tour of West Cork with Jonathan Dawson of the Global Eco-Village Network, Davie Philip from the Cultivate Centre in Dublin and Albert Bates from The Farm Ecovillage in Tennessee. Although the first two I have known for many years, it was the first time I met Albert, despite having been often in communication via. email over the years.

His talk about the history of The Farm inspired all my work in eco-village development, and the amazing ‘can-do’ attitude of the farm blew me away, so it was an honour to be speaking on the same bill as him.
