Community Social Evening

Transition Town Milton Keynes are back with their next Community Social Evening on Wednesday 4 November, at Aiimi on Avebury Boulevard. It's their monthly get-together, which they hold every first Wednesday of the month, and it's open to anyone living in the city who wants to talk about sustainability.

The format is pretty loose. Some evenings they bring in a subject expert to speak, and others just open up into a lively chat among the people who turn up. Those discussions are usually led by the audience, with the conversation drifting towards whatever topics the room is most interested in — the kind of practical, everyday things that can help Milton Keynes become a bit more sustainable. It's an informal, easy-going sort of night, so you don't need to be an expert to get involved; it's as much about hearing what other local residents are doing as it is about sharing your own ideas.

If you've never been, it's worth knowing that this is part of a regular cycle. Because it happens every first Wednesday, there's always another one coming up if the timing doesn't work for this particular date. It's a good way to keep in touch with what's happening around the city and to meet people who are thinking about the same things. The whole point is the community side of it — talking through the practical actions people are taking together, rather than just reading about them in a newsletter.

The evening starts at 18:00 at Aiimi, 100 Avebury Boulevard, MK9 1FH, and entry is free. You'll need to book your place via Eventbrite beforehand, so it's worth sorting that out early if you're planning to go.
