Hi there

I just did a search on Transition Towns to find people in Dunedin because
I wanted to invite you to a 350 Climate Action Group's FUN raiser, this coming Friday at the Regent Theatre.

My band - the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra are doing a gig as part of our National Tour, and we want to pack out the Regent Theatre. $5 from each ticket purchased through the '350 Climate Action Group' (not the box office) go straight to funding their important climate action activities.

You can find out more about it here:

Hope to see you there! If you can't make it, please let your friends know.

Hi there,

Sorry for shamelessly exploiting the Transition Towns network for this, but if any of your contacts might be interested in getting involved in this please pass it on.

many thanks
You may be aware that Sea Shepherd's ship, the Steve Irwin, will be stopping in New Zealand in early December on the way to the Southern Ocean to confront the Japanese whaling fleet.

It is currently looking like it will be spending a few days in Dunedin to refuel before heading South. They will also be looking at taking on some more supplies.

We are currently organising volunteers to provide assistance in securing final provisions & help the crew with onshore tasks. It is also looking like the ship may return there to refuel at some stage during the campaign.

Are you based anywhere near Dunedin or know anyone in the area that may be able to assist?

Thanks for your support, I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Tom Baldwin
