The frustrating thing I find with diaries and notebooks is that I either don't have a pen or the pen I stick inside the book eventually breaks its spine but not anymore.

The Bobino slim pen solves this problem, sitting comfortably either as a page marker or in the specially provided holder.

I have pestered Clive and Helen at Artwrite for ages to stock them and now they do.

Only ÂŁ5.99 they don't take refills but they last for years.

Paul worked at Crundens and since its closure has provided this excellent service.

The editor of The Sentinel is also responsible for sending Hythe, Newington and Sandgate related event information to the Folkestone Herald. If you have an event you wish to publicise it is needed by Tuesday at 17:00. The information should appear in the edition two weeks later although it is not gauranteed.

For the full picture of what we currently do, visit http://Hytheenvironmental.community/ and then let us know HOW YOU CAN HELP US MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

The group has been active for almost ten years, initially under the name of Transition Hythe. It is now rebranded as Hythe Environmental Community Group to focus on practical community projects. We currently are active in the six areas outlined inside this leaflet

The Hythe Environmental Community Group is all about a communityled approach to making the Hythe area a more fulfilling, sustainable and environmentally aware place to live. We aim to help people lower the amount of energy they use, reduce waste, improve the recycling of what waste they do produce, enhance the visual impact of the area and increase the protection of the area’s flora and fauna.
