It allows members to offer their skills, talents and home-made goods in order to earn “Saints” which they can then redeem on the things they might need or want, allowing access to these things without the need for money. It also encouraging residents to support local businesses and their community, increasing skills and provision of services- all key components for creating sustainable local economies.

Transition’s AGM

Transition is holding its Annual General Meeting in April, to which university staff, students and members of St Andrews community are all warmly invited.

The AGM will take the form of an election to select the new steering group Committee and Co-ordinator, and a celebration of the achievements of the outgoing Steering Group and Transition 2012-13.

Would you be interested in joining a steering group of a project that is doing great things for the good?  Steering group membership starts at the AGM and runs for 14 months, allowing an overlap of old and new committee members. Steering groups members are expected to attend monthly meetings and actively contribute  to the group’s activities. The Co-ordinator acts as Transition’s mouth and ears. She/he must speak for Transition and represent Transition in various situations but must also listen (and respond) to the concerns and ideas of the steering group members and the Transition staff as well as the wider Transition community. It is a position of considerable responsibility but also of great reward.
