Good. I agree this would be a useful thing for us to be involved in.

Hi all,
 
I suggested that we had a get together after the Repair Cafe on Sat
25th.  There are some upcoming events to discuss.
 
We did this before, by having a picnic lunch outside at around 1pm as
the Cafe ended.
 
I am only just beginning to get the posters for the Cafe put up around
town.  I will attach it in case anyone else can help with publicity.
 
Many thanks,
 
Janet

Yes, I will be there.
We can then also discuss if we want to do the apple pressing at the Heritage Weekend on 19/20 September.

Hi all,
 
Does anyone have any thoughts about this?  I would have thought that we
could be involved as a group.

Yes, definitely! Thanks Janet and Caroline. We should be involved.

Hi everyone,
 
It's been a while since I messaged on here!
 
This is something I've mentioned to Jason when I've seen him in person, but now have more details about:
 
I’m messaging on behalf of the Loughborough Climate Vigil (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100080595488120) to see if Transition Loughborough like to work with us on a People's Emergency Briefing.
 
We’re organising a screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing on Friday 15th May, 7pm-9:15pm at Fearon Hall, Loughborough: https://fb.me/e/6ahtoj9O0
 
This film is an eye-opening film featuring nine leading UK scientists and experts updating us on the latest in the climate and nature crisis and its impacts on everyday national life. It covers areas such as extreme weather, food security, health and the cost of living. It is based on a longer in-person briefing given to MPs and members of the House of Lords last November. It is being screened in community venues around the country from April onwards. There is a short trailer here: https://youtu.be/5x2XhvEbz24<https://youtu.be/5x2XhvEbz24?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExN09FSWZ0UVltTVByS1JKV3NydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR5Iky6ma-woGcVHb-6xts4CXq5gxAxkwC9gXYc98lqZiTMfQ1P6ZwFy30GY0A_aem_ma8paSENGNs-ls3tHkvVrA>
 
The film lasts 45 minutes and will be followed by a short, open discussion about what we can do and what it means locally. It features Chris Packham, Deborah Meaden and surprise guests.
 
We have invited Jeevun Sandher MP to attend the event and will be inviting local Councillors and the press.
 
We’d like to invite other community groups and orgs in the area to cohost the event with us. We think this will mean more people will hear about and attend the event and we’ll be able to reach more parts of our community with this important message.
 
Co-hosting would involve some or all of the following:
 
* Putting your name/logo on the event flier and any other publicity
* Co-hosting on the Facebook event (if your group/org has a Facebook page we can arrange for that page to co-host this event page: https://fb.me/e/6ahtoj9O0)
* Advertising the event in whatever way you normally advertise events (on Facebook, in an email, on WhatsApp groups, with a physical poster on a noticeboard etc – we can provide a poster and template wording emails and social media posts).
 
Other things you might choose to do in addition:
 
* Provide volunteers to welcome people to the event & make and serve coffees & teas during the break.
* Provide £ - we will ask for donations on the door to cover room hire and refreshment costs but if any groups that can, can be prepared to help cover any shortfall that would be wonderful. We appreciate some groups won’t be able to do this - that’s fine. The room hire cost is £87.50 and we have capacity for 80 people so we strongly suspect that donations will cover the room hire cost anyway.
 
 
We're looking to finalise a list of groups that are working with us by Monday 20th April so that we can then start advertising.
 
 
If you're interested, or have any questions, just let me know.
 
Caroline
