+

We now need your help as customers, members and supporters of these projects. I'm hoping that one of the strengths of Transition Norwich is that, through our membership, we can bring together enough people to enable some or all of these projects to get under way.

+

We've put together a short survey at

+

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=T9ZmVuLi6soqOoD0RbOYCQ_3d_3d.

+

Please do have a look and please do answer the questions. There are only 13 questions so it should only take a few minutes. Also please do forward this email to friends and colleagues who may not be on the Transition Norwich mailing list but may be interested in supporting these food projects.

+

Thanks and best wishes, Tully
