Quick edit I did of my footage from Trashcatchers’ carnival tooting and vox pops on what people liked about Tooting and what they thought could be better. This was shown at the Big Launch – unleashing we had at the Samaj Hall.
Farmers Market as a stall in an existing market July 1, 2010

A thought. We have a good market in Tooting with fish, butchers, tools, clothes, food, phone, pets, etc. It seems busy and well used. In most parts of London, that I have seen, farmers markets are set-up as a separate ghetto for middle class people to wander around for bits and pieces before they go Waitrose. If stalls became free in Tooting market could they be occupied by people selling as local as possible produce?

Attending a planning meeting today for Tooting Transition Town’s unleashing and looked at a hall that we might use. The event is on 14th July. Lots of great ideas for the name and different people and activities that could be included. My task is to research other Transition town groups and see why they did or did not use ticketing for the event. So it’ll be interesting to see how it worked out for them and see if the advantages out-weigh the disadvantages.
Lots of work to do, including shooting some video vox pops of “What’s your Tooting?” to make a video of to publicise the event, it has to be something uniquely Tooting.
I really like the idea of getting people to collaborate on the day with games of Consequences were a small number of people collaborate to imagine a thing or change in Tooting. Each group literally unfolds their idea.
