Rethinking the Future, Kilkenny June 2008
Future Proof Kilkenny have just launched thier latest series of ‘transition’ events in Kilkenny. Following on from the success of their Global Lunch Box sessions though May, they decided to keep up the momentum with ‘Rethinking the Future’. They describe it as ‘a series of evening talks and documentary screenings exploring the role of community in preparing for life beyond cheap oil. This is very worthwhile and relevant chapter in addressing the big issues of our time of climate change and peak oil.
The first ‘rethink’ starts on Thurs 12 June and continues each thurs evening through the month. It begins with a look at the ‘transition towns’ initiative, a movement that focuses on how we can use the challenges of climate change and peak oil to strenghten local economies and communities.

Hi, I’m very intrested in the allotment proposals in kilkenny. Where can I register an intrest in a plot.
I know there is an accociation but can’t find a number to contact them on. I’ve been growing veg for years but moved house in the last 6 months and have very limited room now to grow anything.
Has there been any progress on allotments, I’ve been thinking of contacting one or two farmers myself but there a long way from town.
I’d be glad to sign up and help in any way I can.
I live in Ardnore.
Regards,
Liam.
