Next meeting of the Eudlo Relocalisation Group

In the park opposite the General Store. Everyone is welcome; please bring a chair and your creative ideas about how we can begin relocalising Eudlo in preparation for peak oil and the effects of climate change.

If you have any excess organic food from your garden, you are welcome to bring that along to exchange or barter with other members and we will organise the next bulk-buying order of organic dried goods such as; pasta, flour, rice, dried beans… etc.

Relocalisation is a strategy to build societies based on local production of food, energy and goods, and the local development of currency, governance and culture and also to increase community energy security.

If you are interested in being part of this group,
