The Community Composting Network have asked us to pass on the following information...
Community Composting Opportunities in Your Area
We would like to invite you and members of your
group to an evening seminar to explore the possibilities of Community
Composting in your area.
We're running two events:
Wednesday
27th February
5.30 - 8 p.m.
5.30 - 8 p.m.
Neston Community and Youth Centre on Burton
Road, Neston
Thursday
8th March
5.30 - 8 p.m.
5.30 - 8 p.m.
Trinity Methodist Church Hall, Whitby Road, Ellesmere
Port.
The doors open at 5.30 p.m. with refreshments, with the
programme of presentations starting at 6 p.m. This event is part of an initial
project that is being funded by Cheshire West and Chester Council to find
community organisations that would like to get involved in community composting
and find promising places where it would fit well.
Why would you bother to turn out on a damp February
week night? Well, first of all there will be some nice warming refreshments and
the chance to meet up with other people
in the area who have an interest in growing and community activities. But the main
reason, we think, is that you would also like to hear about community
composting and how the CCN are
working to help/ promote its uptake in the Ellesmere Port and Neston areas. We'd
like to show you what community composting is (there is not just one model),
and to hear from you how you think it might help your project or growing
activities.

Poster
We would be very grateful
to anyone who can display this or forward it to other groups you know who might be interested.
The organisations CCN works with are
'not-for-profit', locally managed/governed
groups working for the benefit of their communities. Obviously it also helps if
you are interested in gardening and growing (especially fruit and veg), because
then you have an immediate reason to make and use compost. But not all our
members do this, sometimes they make compost to return to the householders. You
are very welcome to contact us beforehand if you would like to know more how
your group could become involved with the project and become Community
Composters we'd like to hear from you
How to book a place
The event is free but we do need a booking from you
to ensure we have enough space, chairs and refreshments.
