Planning for the Summer Season

[Theresa McManus]

Hi,

One of the key ways in which we can all help to reduce our collective carbon footprints and live more sustainably, is to get the message out there to our neighbours and local communities in ways that are fun, engaging and interesting.
The local transition groups are hoping to have a combined presence at many of our local summer fairs, where we'll provide a relaxing space for people to come and chat and offer free activities. We'll need people to help come and put up and take down gazebos, as well people needed to help on the stall. We have a list of events that we'd like to attend - and there are probably many other worthy events out there we've missed - so please let us know if you think we should be somewhere that is not listed ! What we'd like to do now is work out whether we have enough willing supporters to be able go to them.

So if you could be available even for just a few hours, for any of the events below, please clink on the links beneath the lists of events. The links are to Doodles, where you can record your availability. One is for the events in June and July, and the other is for events in August and September. Please just add your name and tick the boxes where you think you might be free.

Hi Theresa,

just wondering about the dates for the summer Picknick. 21st & 22nd July are Sun & Mo, is the Monday date correct (bank holiday??) or is that suppose to be 20th & 21st?
