Are your veggies going ballistic in your garden?
Is your last year's batch of preserves and pickles still crowding your cupboard?
Do you wonder what on earth to do with the pile of seeds you haven't managed to plant?
Have you baked one too many cookies again?
Do you LIKE TO SHARE?

Plenty to Share - Lyttelton Petanque Club - Wednesdays 3-6pm

Lyttel Piko is becoming the Harbour Co-op

Project Lytttelton is strongly supporting the formation of the Harbour Co-op - a community-owned cooperative, which aims to purchase the Lyttel Piko Wholefoods business from the Te Whanau Trust who currently own it, and secure funding for future growth. This means that you, residents of Lyttleton and Christchurch and the customers of Lyttel Piko are being asked to buy shares in a new cooperative and become its owners.

For you, the customers, the benefits will include price breaks on selected items, bulk buying discounts, access to workshops and seminars, more open sharing of information, and potentially profit sharing. But more importantly - we will retain the shop in our community, and you will have a direct say in how the shop is run. All members/owners will have an equal vote on major issues and will elect a board of directors which will steer and oversee the operations of the business.

We need you!Visit Harbour Co-op or read on to find out more...

Building local resilience in an era of economic turmoil and resource depletion

Public Talk: Tuesday 27th March at the Naval Point Club 5pm

Nicole Foss says a combination of energy shortages, climate change, population growth, food insecurity and political unrest were brewing a ''perfect storm'' that would ruin society as we know it.

We in Lyttelton are privileged to have the speaker Nicole Foss and her writing partner Roel Illargi in our community on Tuesday 27 March. They are in New Zealand on their "Life Boat" tour. I believe it is important that we all make every effort to hear and engage in dialogue with Nicole.
