* the food co-op crawl is happening this friday (25th of august). we're meeting at thoughtful foods at about 10am at thoughtful foods @ unsw (backyard of the Roundhouse as you head over to the unigym) & then biking or public transporting it to the most of the food co-ops in sydney. the full blurb & details are below so check them out.
* there is also a film screening of the future of food happening at unsw on thursday (24th) at 6pm. its in the new law building lecture theatre on lower campus. the film is about ge, monsanto & other things. we've also got a speaker from greenpeace coming to give us an update of where ge stuff is at in oz. there'll also be infomation available about food irradiation, fair trade & more. a gold coin donation would be muchly appreciated. if you're not sure where the new law building is, meet us at thoughtful foods at 540 to walk over.
food co-op crawl details
as you might remember from chats at SoS the food co-op crawl is on again for those you missed it last time and those who just want to do it all again cos it was loads of fun . it'll be a joyful day of riding (or forms of public transport for people who dont want/cant bike it) around the food co-ops of Sydney. we'll get inspired, chat and compare stories with fellow co-opsters as we trundle our bikes around the sydney streets. a day that will be filled with sun (for sure it will shine for us), a bit of sweat, laughs and (the most important) lots of good food and company.
food co-op crew from all around sydney and hopefully also newcastle & canbera are going on a bit of food co-op field slash food co-op crawl minus the beer to visit a bunch of different food co-ops around sydney on friday the 25th of august. you're all invited to come.
the plan is to meet up at thoughtful foods at unsw at about 10am on friday and then head to the sydney uni food co-op, alfalfa house in newtown, and then back to the uts food co-op before going to circular quay to catch the ferry to manly and check out the manly food co-op. depending on what time it is we might & what people feel like doing we'll head to the green tucker box (food co-op in forestville) or back into after that is the ferry back into the city all in time to make it back to hyde park for critical mass for all the really keen bikers out there. maurice has even created a wonderful map for us to make it easier and so it'll make finding the co-ops in sydney & how to get to them on you bike easier. check out
http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Sydney-Food-Coop-Tour the idea is to find out where these places actully are, hang out with funky co-op crew, find out who does what, whats the same, whats different, are there thing's we'd like to take back and adopt at the co-op where involved in and more, to say nothing of the promise of lotsa yummy munchies that will make for a great picnic somewhere along the line.
transportwise - we want to make this as sustainable as possible so at the moment there's lotsa interest in heading up a bike contingent (and we even have maurice's great map this time to make even easier) with the rest of us taking public transport or if we get access to car/s and drivers carpooling. (if you can drive and/or have access to a car on friday please let me know!). apart from manly (fun ferry trip!) the coops are pretty close together so biking is doable especailly as we'll be able to take breaks at each stop and there's always the option of just catching a bus if people are tired.
if your interested in coming along, please let me know so we have an idea of numbers and who's biking, public transporting it or car pooling it if we find cars. obviously you can come for the whole trip, meet us somewhere in the middle or leave early. also check out the list of stuff to bring below and feel free toward this on -the more the merrier!
if you're running late or you cant find us as where between coops or something, just give me a call so i can let you know where we are at the time, and what coop we are going to next as well as our estimated time of arrival
what to bring:
*your bike and helmet if you have one & are planning on biking it
* money for the ferrry and/or buses
*money for yummy munchies & lunch
* containers to put your munchies in
*a camera if you have one
