Kenilworth Festival on Sunday 16th May 2010
I recently received this email about the upcoming ‘Kenilworth Festival’. Sounds like it could be an enjoyable way to spend a part of the day, especially if you’d like something to keep the younger members of your family busy!

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am dropping you a line to let you and your members know about an exciting event happening in Kenilworth.
On Sunday 16th May, the Kenilworth Festival “Party in the Park” will take place in the Abbey Fields, Kenilworth, from 11.30am. The event is a family fun day and admission is free.
We have just secured the BBC’s Dig In Tour who will have a 20m pitch at the event. The Dig In tour will be promoting growing your own food and giving away free seeds. In addition, there will be a demonstration tent and an activity tend, along with a Gardener’s Question Time, led by a BBC celebrity gardener. Every 20 minutes there will be a different demonstration and there will also be an opportunity to ask questions, swap tips and share recipes – everything from sow, grow, harvest and cook!
The Dig In team would love to see visitors with an interest in gardening who would like to participate in the question time sessions and see the demonstrations. The event is suitable for children too, with a chance to plant seeds and take away pots to plant at home.
Full details of the campaign are available at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/digin/on_tour/
The Festival website is www.kenilworthfestival.co.uk
We are one of only 8 tour venues in the UK.
I should be grateful if you will spread the word amongst your members – all of whom would be very welcome at our event.
If you need any further information, do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards
Julie Thomas

Storytelling at Gaia…
The lovely folk at Gaia have recently sent us this poster about a new storytelling evening they are hosting on the last Thursday of every month. Bit late notice for today, but the first one is tonight… Maybe see you there sometime!
The Age of Stupid is coming to the Royal Spa Centre
Well, after the Apollo cinema mysteriously pulled the plug on showing The Age of Stupid back in March, the Leamington Royal Spa Centre has come up trumps and will be showing the film on Sunday 26th and Monday 27th April, at 6pm (for more details, click on the link below).
Whether it sways you or not, apparently even Ken Livingstone was moved to say that “every single person in the country should be forcibly made to watch this film”!
So… if you possibly can, get yourselves down to the Spa Centre in a couple of weeks’ time and we’ll see you there!

Master Pasta Event in Lillington

Blendavenda smoothies too, and lots more…
Tell all your friends!
A new WaterAid campaign and fundraising group is being launched on Saturday 21st March to mark Word Water Day.
WaterAid enables the world’s poorest people to gain access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education. The scale of the problem is enormous:
- About 1 in 8 of the world’s population do not have access to safe water
- Almost two fifths of the people in the world do not have access to adequate safe sanitation
- 5,000 children die everyday from diseases caused by unclean water and poor sanitation
- It costs only £15 per head to provide lasting safe water, sanitation and hygiene education
WaterAid will have a stall on the Parade in Leamington to raise awareness of their work. The stall will be outside the old Woolworths shop on the Parade, between 10am and 4pm on Saturday 21st March.
Please go along to show your support. James Plaskitt MP and the press will be coming at 10.30am and it would be great to have a large number of people there. Or just turn up whenever you can.
Felix Mindham is organising the event and could do with more help on the stall – so if you would like to help out please give her a ring. She will be doing a couple of briefing sessions on the evenings of Tuesday 3rd March and Thursday 12th March.
If you are interested in getting involved but can’t manage the 21st March, there will be plenty of other opportunities.
Thanks!
