Plans are afoot to initiate a guerrilla picnic with information spread by word of mouth. Create your own posters and flyers and invite your family and friends. The main conditions will be that you turn up at 12 midday with a picnic and that EVERYONE leaves their car at home. Keep watching for more information.

This site has been managed in a low key way by its owners for the last ten years. The increasing work to maintain ever more new trees and control the bracken, bramble and blackthorn has meant a rethink. This year the owners have adopted a Constitution under the name of Gwyls Crankan with the principal aim: ‘to hold the land in stewardship for the future by managing it in ecologically sustainable ways that will maintain or increase its biodiversity’. We are carrying out our first full ecology survey, setting up a formal management plan and creating space for new projects that support our overall aim.

We're having an informal monthly get-together on the first Thursday of every month at the Dolphin Tavern in Penzance. Our e-mails go out to hundreds of people and we want to create more opportunities for more of those people to meet each other and make connections because ... this is what building a resilient local community is really about.

The Transition Penwith Core Group is elected at the AGM every year and does its best to steer the organisation in the intervening twelve months. But it's not possible for the Core Group to do absolutely everything - we want to facilitate more people taking action on the ground.

Social events like these are a way of exchanging ideas and talking informally about how this could be brought about. So why not come along and chat about your views on the end of the oil age and what you could do to make the transition smoother?
