Latest addition
Learn about stove-making! See some demonstration models, see one in action, and find out about workshops.
Food to share: We are having a barbecue, but if you are able to bring a salad, or a rice dish, bread, to accompany the barbecue that would be great. Please let me know if you can.
A Lark without waste: We’d like to ‘walk the talk’ and reduce waste at this event. If at all possible please bring your own plate, knife and fork, and maybe a mug as well.
Spread the word about local groups: We will have a stall for leaflets about local community groups, such as residents’ associations. If you belong to a group, please bring leaflets.
The more help the better: Many thanks to all the people who’ve offered to help. Even more hands would make light work - and it will be fun. If you’d like to work the apple press, serve tea, help with the barbecue, help out on the stalls, help clear up, please let me know.
Hope to see you there.
Best wishes,
Ros Bedlow
