Sheffield Social Centre is organising a second free school at the Sheffield Social Centre.

This complements our own skills workshops really well (see below for more info on these), and includes a range of workshops from growing your own food and bicycle maintenance through to yoga and workplace rights.

See http://sheffieldsocialcentre.org.uk/ for more info.

There'll be a Futures North Conference on Wednesday 2nd November in Sheffield.

On behalf of Transition Sheffield I'd like to make an offer of accommodation and/or meeting up in a local pub on the 1st or 2nd to discuss transition matters with anyone who is interested. Please contact susannah@transitionsheffield.org for info.

All welcome at the Crookes Community Garden on Sunday 18th Sept from 12pm-5pm.

The afternoon will start with a harvest lunch of soups, salads and puddings made from the garden's produce.
We will also be planting out winter veg and building plant supports and a rainwater harvesting kit for autumn.

Drop in at any time for lunch, to help with the building and planting, or just to have a look.

The garden is at the back of 16 Hallamgate Road, S10 (through the white gate).

Currently Transition Sheffield is run by an enthusiastic but small group of individuals. We'd love to do more, but we really don't have the time. If you have skills or ideas and can spare an hour or two to make things happen, then we'd really love to hear from you. We've put together a little wishlist of the kinds of people who'd make Transition Sheffield (and therefore Sheffield) a bit more of a creative, happening and sorted place to be.

The next Transition Cafe will be held on Tues 8th March at Cafe Euro between 7 and 10pm.

The theme of the Cafe will be Skilling Up for Power Down, with an hour of sharing ideas and information around the theme of re-skilling for life beyond oil. As our economy changes and oil and food prices rise, we'll need new skills to help ourselves and our local communities move beyond our addiction to cheap oil.

Following great demand for more city wide Transition get-togethers we have arranged a just for fun Transition Christmas Social on 16 December at the 'Riverside Live' Pub, 1 Mowbray St, S3 from 7.00 til late.

The evening will include an open mic session, including a performance by local vegetable entertainer Madame Zucchini and possibly a ten- minute film relating to Cancun "Mujeres, cambio climático y sus falsas soluciones”.
