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.

On June 18th Offshoots Permaculture project managed by Groundwork Pennine Lancs, won a Green Triangle award, in front of hundreds of delegates at the Groundwork Northwest staff conference.

A couple of weeks ago a few of us from Manc went and visited Burnley Offshoots. Since then I've discovered this excellent instrumental electroacoustic music on myspace by a guy called Lee Gregory (or Random Lee). The track is called Offshoots, Illness & Angry Troll Bash The Little Pixies, and is composed entirely using field recordings from Offshoots Permaculture. Far out dude ..

Listen to it here.
