Mission Possible

A talk by Tom Heap, 8.00pm Tuesday 17th October

Our next scheduled event is a talk by the well-known television and radio presenter Tom Heap. We are delighted that he has agreed to present a talk for us and are certain that it will be highly informative as well as entertaining. This will take place on the evening of Tuesday 17th October at 8.00pm at the church.

The title of the talk is Mission Possible. Tom Heap looks at how healing the climate and nature may not be as hard as you think. The talk will be based on 25 years as a journalist in this space who has seen plenty of reasons to be cheerful … but not complacent.

Tom Heap grew up locally in Harston and is now a journalist and author covering science, environment, farming, energy and waste stories. Tom showcases his passion for revealing the hidden depths of rural and environmental stories while presenting Countryfile on BBC. He is the principal voice of Radio 4’s Costing of the Earth programme – which takes a look at the impact of humans on the environment, questioning accepted truths, challenging those in charge and reporting on progress towards improving the world. He is the creator and presenter of BBC Radio 4's flagship climate change podcast 39 Ways to Save the Planet – exploring climate change solutions, and has written a book by the same name based on this series. Tom created and currently presents The Climate Show with Tom Heap on Sky News and is writing a book about the smart use of land. The talk will be about 90 minutes long with an interval when light refreshments will be available. Tom will be happy to take questions at the end of the talk and copies of his book, 39 Ways to Save the Planet, will be available to purchase.

Christmas Tree Festival

Sunday 3rd December 11.00am to 4.00pm

Please note in your diaries the weekend of the Christmas Tree Festival. We look forward to seeing you all again at this year’s festive event taking place in our special Holy Trinity Church in Meldreth. Free parking will be available and there is free admittance to the event. Come along and enjoy the wonderfully lit and individually decorated tree displays which are quite inspirational and pick up an unusual Christmas gift or two from the craft and produce stalls. Homemade soups and a delicious variety of homemade cakes will be available.

Our regular exhibitors should have received the usual registration form from the Committee by now. If you have not received this or if you run a club and have not been involved in the event before but would like to take part, then please contact me.

If you are making jams, marmalades, chutneys this autumn we would very much appreciate it if you could make a little extra to donate to the produce stall. These can be delivered to the church on the Thursday or Friday before the event.

Visitors are always complimentary about our homemade soups and cakes sold in the café area. If you are a cake baker it would be lovely if you could bake a cake for everyone to enjoy.

Thank you all in advance.
