Climate Friendly Group
Spring Fayre 5 May 2008
What
was so lovely about the whole day was how all the members of the group pulled
together. Some arrived early to erect the gazebo and Mike with his tent.
Others participated by donating cakes or prizes. 
Everybody
did something, it was a real team effort and it paid dividends. We now have
enough money to buy the Freecycle banner for the Recycling centre at Bowerhill.
We also now have funds in our account for the climate group which will go
towards campaigns and projects in the future.
Freecycle also had a display
board which Kathy had put laminated slides of the powerpoint presentation
onto. We were unable to use the actual powerpoint presentation itself as
we 
had
no power at the fayre. It didn't matter, however, because the display was
very clear and again attracted people to it to read the information given.
Also, alongside the information was a Freecycle table with bits and pieces
on that some members had brought along for people to take (and offer a donation
if they wanted to
We learned a lot and we
gained a lot. A very good day which was 
fun,
interesting, and most of all worthwhile, doesn't get much better than that.
The competition winners were Kieron Lulos, Eloise Hatfield and Josie Rickets.
