Transition Woking Event 21st April 2012

[Susie Atterbury]

Dear All

I have copied below the information that is on the Google doc created as a central place where everyone can add comments, make suggestions.  It would also be useful if people could add items which they may be able to bring, or if you could email Ian/myself.  We'll create a wish list and send that separately.

Ian - was there anything else that you wrote down that I've missed?

Regards

Susie
