David has the Power!

Kim and I visited David on Saturday afternoon.  David is now the proud owner of a 1 kW solar PV system after a very, very long wait.  Here is a shot from the road.


Another view of the system from the backyard.


Of course, I couldn't miss a photo of the proud owner himself!


Look for David and his solar PV system in this weeks edition of the Express Telegraph promoting the Melton Shires bulk PV scheme with EnviroGroup.

Clay Oven Workshop

On Saturday, the group held a clay oven workshop at Gavin & Kims place which was well attended by members of the Melton Sustainable Living Group.  We had ten willing workers at our disposal, and we managed to occupy them all on various tasks during the day.

Awareness Meeting

Don’t forget the MSLG Awareness meeting being held on the 7th May 2009. Please refer to the poster below for details. Click to enlarge. There will be two presentations, one by Gavin about his journey towards a sustainable lifestyle, and one from another group, who will hopefully talk about why and how they formed their group and what projects they have done. It should make for an interesting evening. How to see you, and any prospective members there. Don’t forget to try and put up a few flyers on community notice boards during the weekend. Thanks!
