What is a 'Transition town'?

Thinking Thursday in February 2025 explored this question. We started by watching these 2 videos:

This helped people to see that Transition Town Rugby is not aiming to do any one thing, but exists as a support and umbrella group for a multitude of projects, and that lots of things are possible under this banner. Or not under any banner, but supported by Transition Town Rugby.

Then, in small groups, we discussed wild ideas for possible projects, and what ifs.

Finally, we came together to share our ideas and pull out some possibilities to take forward. 2 ideas were particularly popular:

1. some kind of local press or newspaper or blog

2. something around local food, possibly a community orchard or forest garden, urban foraging workshops, a directory of local food and produce

Ideas are very blue-sky for now, but we plan to meet on 6th March 2025, at 7.30pm at the Eco Hub to discuss how to make things happen. If you want to be involved with these projects, or have ideas for others we could support you with, email us at rugbytransitiontown@gmail.com
