We’ve finalised the plans for our stall at the Strawberry Fair this coming Saturday (June 18) – and we’d like as many members as possible to please put their hands up and volunteer to help us on the day!
Last night’s Steering Group meeting heard a full update from Frances Howard, who along with Kat Anderson, has been putting in the organising work in the run-up to the Brentwood Borough Council & Discover Brentwood event on Shenfield Common.
We’ll be hosting our stall jointly with Brentwood Fairtrade, as we have a lot of crossover in members and general aims around the environment and social justice in a world trying to cope with a climate emergency.
A donation from National Enforcement Solutions, who supplied BCA’s litter-picking equipment, will cover the cost of the stall at the Fair – and we thank them for that! And we’ll be doing some litter picking around the Common during the event (which runs from 11am to 6pm)… so the more BCA members around the better.
The Fair itself will see performances on the main stage during the day, fairground rides, food and drink stalls and, of course, fresh strawberries.
In terms of Brentwood Climate Action’s stall, we’ll be running a Scavenger Hunt – with successful entrants going into a prize draw, which Brentwood Fairtrade are helping provide prizes and goodies for.
They will also be running a quiz – and we’ll have the ability for everyone to sign up as free Members of Brentwood Climate Action on the day… and scan our QR code to go straight to our website for all the information on our group.
We’ll also be posting on our Twitter, Facebook and Instragram channels during the day, so please make sure you’re following them to stay in touch…. and tag us in any posts you make too so we can share!
Any members who can come along and help with running activities on the day (we’ll be setting up from 9.30am), please email us at info@brentwoodclimateaction.org.uk so we know to expect you.
We look forward to seeing as many people as possible on Saturday!
