Community Energy Wind Turbine Projects - Monday 22nd Feb
Come and get involved - open meeting
Monday 22nd Feb 8pm - 9.30pm
upstairs at the Caroline of Brunswick
(Ditchling Rd opp the Level)
Find out how Scottish wind turbine pioneer Hugh Piggot has created a simple and cheap system, often from recycled materials, for self made wind turbines. He has made possible thousands of practical wind turbines across the globe, often in the worlds most impoverished places.
His influence has been felt here in Brighton and Hove, and you will get a chance to hear first hand about some of the community wind turbine projects springing up locally. There is a chance to hear about some of the innovative designs they are using to build on Hughs work.
Importantly, you will discover how they would love you to get involved, or can help facilitate building your own wind turbine.

Seedy Sunday – Hove Town Hall
It’s that time of year....Seedy Sunday the country’s biggest community seed swap is in its 9th year. It has grown to include talks, demonstrations, displays, plant sales, second hand books, a cafe and other activities that make the event so lively. But at heart it remains a community seed swap: a place where experienced and aspiring growers from the same area share seeds for the following year's crop and tips on how to grow them.
Seedy Sunday offers people a fun and practical way to grow ‘outlawed’ fruit, vegetables and herb varieties whilst helping support a vibrant local food growing culture. Where else would you find a District Nurse, a Nun's Belly Button, a Lazy Housewife, a Fat Lazy Blonde and a Drunken Woman all in the same room? (All are traditional varieties of garden vegetables (the first three are climbing beans, the last two lettuces))
On Sunday 7th February 2010 Hove Town Hall will be jumping with the sound of people swapping, chatting, listening, learning, sharing, enjoying. You can swap seeds or make a donation if you have no seeds to swap, buy seed potatoes, talk to seed doctors, and be inspired by exhibitions, and talks on the importance of biodiversity.
Seedy Sunday is organised by a group of volunteers who also advise other groups on how to organise their own community seed swaps, of which there is a rapidly growing number around the country.
