Lots of meetings

Now the Festive season is safely behind us, all sorts of groups are brushing themselves down and getting ready for a new year.
Last night was to have been the first Stitch and Bitch of the year - but we hadn't realised that the Swan would be closed, and didn't have a plan B. So we'll be meeting to decide what demonstrations to offer and skills to share, and to show off finished projects, next Thursday at 6pm instead - with plan B being the Blue Boar if the Swan is still closed.
Tonight is the first Fairtrade meeting of the year, with some newly interested people coming along to see what it's all about. This one will probably end up in the Blue Boar, too, as we'd originally decided on the Swan (I'm not complaining - they have to have a holiday sometime!).
On Jan 14th, there's a meeting at the Globe at 10am to discuss tourism in the area - I won't be able to get to that one, though it sounds interesting.
On the evening of Jan 15th, the Revolutionary Councill will be up at the Council Chambers again, fomenting revolution. I think it's probably 8pm, but I need to check, since I'm supposed to be there.
On Jan 16th, the Film Society are screening Into Great Silence, the film about Grande Chartreuse monastery, 7.30pm for 8pm. I don't normally go to the film society, but this is a film that I've wanted to watch for a long time. They say to bring a bottle and a cushion!
On Jan 22nd, the Transition Town people are holding a meeting, again at the Globe, at 7.30pm. The mayor will be there, and there will be short films, discussions and local food and drink, as well as a couple of visitors from other transition towns. There was a lot of interest in the first meeting, so this should be an interesting one.

There's also going to be a talk about Madagascar, and Wassailing with Foxwhelp Morris at Preston-on-Wye on the evening of the 17th, which looks like great fun.

So, plenty to keep us busy!
