Priti and I have been talking about getting a timebank/skills-sharing group going in Highbury. If you’re interested in helping out – and we’d love you to – please come along to a planning meeting on Tuesday 6th April (7pm, The Community Space, Ground Floor, The Chestnuts, N5 2QE – entrance behind the bus stop on Highbury Park). 

We’re thinking of kicking things off with a give-and-take event in May.

Here’s a brief outline of the event:
Aim: to raise some start-up funds for the timebank and start to build up some contacts of interested individuals
What: A give-and-take event, with a small (voluntary) donation on the door and cakes for sale
Where: The community space and garden, The Chestnuts, N5 2QE
When: a Saturday afternoon, mid May – ideally May 8

Please do forward to anyone else you think might be interested. This might be a good opportunity to sign people up for some gardening skill-sharing so in gardening group people in particular might want to get involved. I’ve also posted this event on the Ning http://transitionhighbury.ning.com/events/planning-meeting-timebank).

Hope you’re all having a great weekend,
Mary.
