EVENT CANCELLED DUE TO ADVERSE WEATHER BUT THERE WILL BE SOCIAL DRINKS AT OUR SEPTEMBER MEETING (please see the “Meetings” page for details)
Open-invitation picnic/barbeque/optional nature-walk, eco-chat and more at Terridell Farm Eco House, Devils Dyke Road. The house is in a hollow just before you reach Devils Dyke, with stunning views and lots of land to explore. The Eco House is in its infancy and run by a small cooperative whose plans for its future are environmentally exciting and challenging. They will explain their plans and lead those of us who wish to on a nature-walk of around 2 miles (those of us who don’t can continue to picnic and chat!)
- Brief explanation about the scheme, plans for the future and a bit of a tour around the house, barns etc amongst the wild flowers and blackberries.
- Picnic and/or BBQ in the lovely garden, or if raining (?!), in the house. Bring rugs and food/drink.
- Two mile walk over the Downs for those who wish.
Contact Monica if you would like to come along: monica_jennings@hotmail.co.uk She will send you all the travel info for cycles, buses and cars when you confirm. Please invite family/friends too – we´d like to meet as many prospective members as possible!
There will also be a chance to input ideas for our event-involvement in the ´Brighton Time to Act!´ week of activities in the lead up to the Paris Climate Talks later this year. The week is being coordinated by the newly formed Brighton Climate Action Network;
BrightonCAN:
A broad-based network of groups and individuals across Brighton & Hove meeting, developing, taking action and creating change to address our climate crisis. Brighton CAN was established on 11th June at Brighthelm following a call-out and resolved to focus initially on the COP21 Paris Climate Talks in December.
1) Coordinate a ‘Brighton Time To Act’ week of activities between 16th – 22nd November 2015; inviting a broad spectrum of organisations (inc. schools/colleges/universities), community groups and individuals to put on events during the week, raising awareness before Paris and gathering together around the issue of climate change. Will include welcoming and supporting the ´Pilgrimage´ walking-group from London to Paris, arriving in Brighton on 18th November.
2) To promote and build support for the national ´Time to Act´ demonstration on Sunday 29th November.
3) To promote and support the UK mass-cycle to Paris passing through Brighton on 6th December. Arranging to welcome the estimated 200 cyclists as they arrive from London; food, comforts, celebration! and overnight hosting before the ´local rally´ to Newhaven.
