Hello Everyone,
The Big Green Fortnight (BGF) break out group discussed the previously mentioned ideas for the BGF Open Day Transitions stand at The Pavilion on 23rd May, came up with several other suggestions and individuals identified activities and tasks that they would take on.
These included:
1. Re-skilling demos such as knitting/darning, baking, cycle repair, wormeries, food growing etc as a catalyst to draw people to the stand;
2. Possible screening of films such as The Story of Stuff, Genie in the bottle etc;
3. Displays to sell the concept of transitions such as stills from films, thermal imaging to demonstrate the impact of insulation etc,
sea levels to display the impact of climate change, what does the conurbation need in 2026;
4. Creation of artwork and promotional literature;
5. Inviting celebrities to be present at the stand;
6. Making a film of local aspects.
Important: There will be a BGF organising meeting at 7.30pm on Wednesday 8th April at Janice's house - 32, Namu Road, Winton, BH9 2QU. All welcome - if you cannot make it - please email me to let me know what progress you are making with your aspect of the Open Day. Please make every effort to attend as we need to make sure that plans for the Open Day are progressing. Many thanks!
Best Regards, Janice.
