South Yorkshire Local Nature Partnership Workshop
Richard is to attend this on behalf of the group and he will feed back what happened at the next meeting. For more details see http://www.syforest.co.uk/projects.php?p=273
Basecamp
Friends of the Earth's Get Together (Basecamp) will be from the 12th – 14th July at Hartington in Derbyshire. For more information visit www.foe.co.uk/gettogether. As many of the group will be attending this event, it has been decided not to book a stall at the Green Fair this year, which is on the 13th July.
Stalls
Despite not being able to make the Green Fair, we have booked a stall for the Firth Park Festival which takes place on Saturday 29th June 11am - 4pm and it will cost us £25.
The Ecclesfield Gala will run on Sunday 1st September from 12 - 5pm. It will cost our group £30 for a stall. We will decide at the May meeting if we want to run a stall at Ecclesfield.
If you are able to help out on a stall then please contact us. You don't have to stay for the whole event - maybe just an hour. Besides helping Sheffield Friends of the Earth you'll have a good day out too.
