Offshoots Permaculture Project & the Permaculture Association are planning a North West regional networking and skill-sharing event on the weekend of the 14th/15th November 2009. It will be at Offshoots, which is set in the grounds of the lovely Towneley Hall in Burnley.

We'd like to know if members of the Permaculture Association would be interested in coming to learn new skills, or share existing ones and have put together this very short questionnaire to find out what you'd like.

For the past three years the Permaculture Association (Britain) has been supporting IPES - the Instituto Permacultura El Salvador. PAB has been working closely with IPES to channel £300,000 BIG Lottery funding into El Salvador, in order to improve the quality of life, and sustainability of rural communities in this country. Suzi High, PAB's International worker will be giving a talk and slides about the work that IPES has been carrying out.
