17th September 2011: celebration party and AGM
About fifty members and friends of Teign Estuary Transition Group gathered in the TAAG’s Arts & Community Centre in Teignmouth on Saturday evening to celebrate achievements of the Group’s first two years, hear about what the Group is currently doing, and help to form plans for the Group’s future. The evening provided the chance to watch a short animated environmental film called “Carbon Weevils”, along with socialising, live music by The Kirkwood Brown Trio, and supper. The evening also included a brief AGM.
The photos below, by Sally Fransen, show members of the Group enjoying the evening.
