What suggestions do you have for the ethos and purpose of Edible Eastbourne?
Fiona Durling Thu 27 Feb 2014 8:16PM
Three important aims from Sunny
Looking at other local food growing organisations. Eg Edible Todmorden. Common Cause Lewes there are two main objectives.
A) To assist people around the Eastbourne area to develop local community food growing and gardening inititaves on under used community land.
B)To co-ordinate with existing community groups and offical organisations to increase the amount of local sustainably produced eaten in the area.Stimulating food production in Sussex means improving the image of work and training in agriculture and horticulture.

Ideas for Edible Eastbourne launch night Closed Sun 2 Mar 2014 8:01PM
Showing the Edible Todmorden film by haymedia from the Tod web site would be a good introduction. This is 7 minutes long. We could ask Helen Meade from chances for change to talk briefly about Tod. Also we could ask Sheila and Sue to introduce their community garden. And Mathew 25.
Invitations could be made to a couple of local garden centres to have a stall ,perhaps focusing on sustainable container growing

The Town Team too maybe and possibly the Eastbourne Allotment Society (the plot share ones anyway)?

just looked at Fiona's proposal for E E launch and think it would be highly desirable to have a little film show with spotlight on Edible Todmorden totally appropriate! Any information on current community gardens also important.

Yes, excellent proposal! I also like Spencer's allotment idea. Getting the allotment people to say a few words makes the valid point that what they do also helps increase Eastbourne's food security & resilience.

Whatever the majority decides is fine by me.

Until we have decided the format of this event I can't agree. They are just ideas and everyone has said ;yes' without agreeing the format first..

It makes sense not to have a separate group to organize this when everyone has so many good ideas. I am a bit dubous about Town Team giving a talk or having a table because they haven't actually done anything edible yet. Otherwise, yes all good ideas. Will this be set up like the Bee Tea to accommodate the talks?
