Linlithgow Harvest Feast

Date: 
25 September 2010
Time: 
9.30 am -11pm
Venue: 
Clarendon House, Manse Road, Linlithgow, EH49 6AR

Transition Linlithgow & Transition Scotland Support would like to invite other Transition groups in Scotland to join us for a fun day mixing Transition discussions and also celebrating a Harvest Feast on Sat - Sept 25th.

We would love to use this event to promote what is going on around Scotland and to show the strength in Transition action from other communities. Esp if there's any focus on food projects :-)  So if you'd like to bring along a small amount of display material, we can find you a corner of the marquee.

Space will be provided so that we can not only eat but also talk about our transition aims and those of the wider communities.

As the 'new kid' on the official transition town block we'd very much like to meet you all and to share with you a little of our own local transition ambitions and efforts.

Check out the programme below, and book your place HERE.  You’ll also be able to book your place at the Harvest Feast, but hurry - places are limited.
