On Saturday morning 10 am – 12 noon, 18th June, there will be a workshop on Building a Beehive, including choosing box sizes, assembling boxes and frames, wiring frames and fitting beeswax foundation. Contact Michael Wadsley Ph. 6260 2950 for details.
Solar & Wind powered home
We visited a local solar & wind powered home on Sunday 22 May.
The turnout was good with approx. 20 people attending. The house was off the grid and powered by a 2kW wind turbine and 2kW Photovoltaic cells. In addition to this there is a generator that they only use four times a year.
Afterwards we enjoyed a coffee and cake.

Meeting January 2011
There will be a meeting on Wednesday 19th January 2011 at 7 Gunning Street, Richmond at 7 pm. All are welcome but please email if you plan to attend.
The reason for the change of venue is to enable demonstration of a home electrical energy monitor in action. Given the recent price increase for electricity the best way to save is to know what you are using at any moment. A bulk purchase of such meters for residents of the Coal River Valley could be an option.
Workshops planned for 2011 include:
- A visit to a home powered entirely by wind and solar
- Storing your garden produce over winter
