Here’s the current list of things we know about that are
happening in the near future. Where
relevant, we’re also listing events a bit further afield that you might be
interested in, too. These are local events that are (unless it says otherwise
in the listing) run by assorted local groups – these are all independent of the
Green Party.
If you are aware of other talks, events, workshops or other
community activities in the coming week or so, please do mention them in the
comments. If there’s an event you would like our support in promoting, please
email the details to brynnethnimue (at) gmail (dot) com.
Songs of Change – meets on Tuesday nights at Paganhill Maypole Village
Hall. We are led by Sophie Sterckx (formerly “Greatorex”). This is an open
group drawing on songs from about peace, the earth, equality, etc. We are next
performing before the start of the International Workers Day procession.
We will
again be presenting our Open Homes weekend, this year on the Bank Holiday
weekend of May 3rd and 4th, 2014. There will be
lots of Eco-renovation to see and yo
u will get a
chance to talk to the home owners about what they have had done, who did it,
what difference it has made. Some of the homes will have small workshops for
you to pick up more information.
Launching Jay Ramsay’s first large collection of new poetry for some
years, here in Stroud at the Black
Book cafe, top of the High St, on FRIDAY MAY 9th—at 7.30 for 8pm start. £10 on
the door includes a free copy. The book, which is 224pp, attempts to tell the transitional story of our
time...also as an invitation to poetry to face what is happening in our time.
It is an invitation for us all to find our greatness and courage, and not hide
in being less than who we are. It is also about memory (and history), and what
needs to be remembered in our soul's journey of awakening.
There will be music too, and some special guests.

The venue is easy to find: Continue up Parliament Street past the police station which becomes Bisley Old Road, to the very top of the hill and the school is on the left.
Please park in the car park and then walking towards the school, look for the gate in the fence between two buildings. Walk through the gate and turn left and there we are in that building!
