Permaculture Manchester . . . lets put some green on the urban scene

The next Manchester Permaculture event will next Monday (26th Oct), 6:30pm - 9:30pm, and it will be a cider making workshop! We've got a home brewer coming from near Manchester to talk a bit about cider brewing, and we are also going to juice some apples using a crusher and apple press. We'll be at the Hulme Centre, just behind  Hulme Community Garden Centre (map).

This event is joint with Abundance Manchester who will be donating the apples. Half the apple juice will go to community groups in Manchester, and the rest is for you to take home and try some home brewing (hopefully we'll have enough!). Or one of us could brew it at home to be used for another MPN event?  If you interested in coming please email Agnes so that I can get an idea of numbers.

Schedule:
I'm not even going to try and put a time to whats going to happen and when, but hopefully Matt Veasey will give a talk about home brewing at around 7pm, with apple juicing already starting beforehand. We can aim to eat at 7:30, and do more juicing later on, then share out the juice!

What to bring:

• Food to share
• A clean bottle if you want to take some apple juice away to brew at home
• Knives and chopping boards - the more people that can chop, the more juice we'll get! :)
• Anything else usefull: apples, or some examples of home brewed cider if you have some on the go.

How to get there:

The event will be at Hulme Centre (on the grounds of Claremont Resource Centre), which is on Rolls Crescent. It's behind Hulme Community Garden Centre (map) and the Junction Pub on the corner of Old Birley St and Rolls Crescent.

From Hulme Market, head towards the city centre, up Old Birley Street, and Hullme Community Garden Centre is 100m up on your left. From the city centre get the 86 bus (to Chorlton), from Piccadilly Gardens, to Old Birley Street (or walk or cycle).

Hope to see some of you there!
