NEXT MEETING
Saturday 27 September 2-5.30pm
Workshop: design a cohousing site
Venue: Phoenix Arts Association, 10–14 Waterloo Place, Brighton BN2 9NB. See map. It's the large blue gallery building on the main road by the south end of the Level in Brighton (in front of the Phoenix Community Centre where we sometimes meet).
Here is a chance to create with others a vision of a cohousing project. We will find site plans and ask you to work out in small groups what you want there for yourself and what you would share. Imaginary of course, but we hope it will help people focus on what could be done - and get some ideas on how to make it real! We will ask donations of £3-7 to cover costs. Numbers are limited, so please email us at info@brightoncohousing.org.uk to reserve a place.
