A good day, with a visit to a shop with my friend who's bank card I'm looking after at around lunchtime, and then mid-afternoon I did 3 hours DEFRA door-knocking. Really enjoyed this.
I headed off to town to get to the Friends Meeting House by 7pm for the followup meeting to 'Towards a Sustainable York 2013' which was due to start at 7.30. 18 other people attended which was a really good turnout.
I co-chaired with Lyndsey, all sitting in a circle. Everyone introduced themselves, just briefly... and then we recapped the different subjects which emerged from the meeting in January. These were the York Green Network or Hub, a Vision and Future for York in Transition, Creating a Bee-Friendly York, Local Carbon Capture - biochar, Renewable Energy, Community Agroforestry Gardens, i-Travel York, Wellbeing in York and there was a late addition to the topics, Creating a Plastic Waste sculpture.
Lyndsey facilitated a voting system for these to decide the most popular. This resulted in 3 groups, the networking one, the wellbeing one, and a conglomerate of 3 groups, which we renamed the growing group. We had about 45 minutes discussion time and then regrouped to share our next steps. The most advanced group, it seemed, was the Wellbeing group which had laid plans for a Wellbeing Festival, and several other events and actions.
Some of us then went to the Last Drop Inn, where although it was noisy, some good conversations were had.
