Wildlife Gardening
With the assisistance of the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust, Marie Owen recently hosted a very interesting evening for members on how to make our gardens more nature friendly. Here and here are two great guides. So please welcome the bugs and the birds into your garden. With luck one of these creatures might come to live in it ... 
SPJARA November quiz night a great success!
Thanks to Heidi Awege and Roy Arnold for organising a great evening at the Bowls Club in Suffolk Square. 35 people came. Some of us were more challenged by the questions than others. Maurice Gran's table triumphed. We raised £260, £100 of which will go towards the costs of the redesign of the space outside Pip and Jim's - it will belong to the church but will be a public asset. |
The Bath Road - keeping it great
We love the Bath Road and its shops, cafes and pubs. We have worked with other community groups to brighten it up with decorated utility boxes, trees, planters and more .... (you can read more here)
But it's all too hand-to-mouth. We want the council to lead and not leave it to community groups. We want to work with the traders. And we want a reliable source of funds to keep the Bath Road looking great. So we working on two initiatives: - we are pressing the Council to estalblish a Bath Road partnership - Hugh Curran is asking the banks and supermarkets to help support the painting of boxes etc. in future. We'll keep you posted. Meanwhile, please keep using the facilities in the Bath Road and send any feedback to adrian.phillips@gmx.com WANT SOME COMPUTER TRAINING? FOR FREE?
IT Schools Africa (info@ITSchoolsAfrica.org) has recently opened a suite of computers for public use. They also do free training on applications (such as Facebook). It is a community service which they want to publicise. It is free though a donation is appreciated. ITSA are at Unit 4, Mead Park Industrial Estate, Mead Road, GL53 7EF (https://www.itschoolsafrica.org/). ITSA give redundant computers a new life to assisyt communities in Africa. It's a very worthwhile social enterprise. for local events ...... click here
