News

 

Gas lamps get the Transition treatment

See the new Transition Lighting Group page for how we are tackling the hotly discussed issue of cost (environment as well as money) of the historical gas lamps.

The group has been working for the last five months surveying the lamps, researching the subject, developing and testing hardware, and interacting with international experts to achieve the optimum results.

Following the first public presentation of the group's solution there has been various news coverage, including BBC Hereford and Worcester, BBC Midlands Today and Malvern Gazette. You'll find it all featured on the gas lamps page.

 

Events

See the Events page for full calendar of activities connected with Transition Malvern Hills.

Coming up

An Ancient Legacy for the New Year

A journey through the seasons in music, song, poetry and sketches. Saturday 15th January, 7.30pm at Priory Lodge (next to the Council House), Avenue Road, Malvern, WR14 9SZ.

£4 entrance.

"The Ancient legacy is a lively production which takes us on a journey through the seasons and the farming year both past and present celebrating them in music, song, poetry and humorous sketches.

"Narrators introduce you to the modern farmer struggling with ministry documents, and the ploughboy of long ago as they journey through Spring ploughing, haymaking and harvest  until Christmas celebrations before turning again to look forward to another new year."

See Eric Payne Folk Songs site for more about this Folk Play.

The BIG question (from Transition Towns site via Tring) “For all those aspects of life that this community needs in order to sustain itself and thrive, how do we significantly increase resilience (to mitigate the effects of Peak Oil) and drastically reduce carbon emissions (to mitigate the effects of Climate Change)?"
