Transition Town Maidenhead (see note 1) are having a community engagement event next week to to update members on progress on current projects and plan for forthcoming new initiatives. Members of the public are welcome to come along.
The meeting will be held on Wed 28th March at the United Reform Church in West Street from 7pm.
Chairman Ben Hart will give a progress report on the group's succesfully aquired grant from the Energy Saving Trust to assess and recommend measures for energy conservation to two local community buildings.

town's schools this summer. Speaker Kevin Frea of the solar coop will outline the idea of Community Shares discuss their appropriateness for us in Maidenhead. Admission is free as also are the refreshments which will be provided by HAPPY CAKES
NOTES
1.The Transition Town movement supports community-led responses
to climate change and shrinking supplies of cheap energy. Through community schemes for self reliance in things such as food, energy and transport the movement is building resilience and happiness. There are now Transition Towns around the country. See: http://www.transitionnetwork.org
2. These include the founding of a Solar Coop & MaidEnergy Coop as well as of the Maidenhead Gardenshare scheme. Many TTM funded courses and workshops were run last year as well as an Autumn Apple Fair in Grenfell Park last
