More courses, less meetings

Not a big fan of making New Year Resolutions, but if I have one at all it’s to go to more courses in 2011 and to less meetings. There’s so much I want to learn as part of our “Great Re-skilling” that it’s time to get started.

There are some great things to do out there:

• The Low Impact Living Initiative run a great range of courses. They’re not cheap but look like good subjects.
• Abundance Manchester have some great events. I’m going to their next one – Tree Pruning – and best of all it’s free and helps a local orchard.
• Reaseheath College in Northwich do some great smallholding courses – I like this Poultry keeping one – only £21!

Those are just some of the ones I’m looking at – let me know if you’ve seen – or been on – any great courses.

Come along – I’ll be there!

 

Concrete Utopia

 A quick plug for an event I’ll be presenting at this weekend: Concrete Utopia. It’s on Saturday from 10am, and I’ll be tackling the subject of how we’ll be living in the year 2020. I should be good, challenging fun, so get along there!

It’s being organised by the impressively effective, omnipresent, Call to Real Action, and you can get full details over at their blog – http://calltorealaction.wordpress.com/concrete-utopia-sat-feb-20th/
