Wildlife Talk at St Lawrence Church - October 31st - 7.30 - Prehistoric Essex - Jon Greaves In the past, markets were more like fairs – as much about social gatherings and enter- tainment as about trading goods. Nowadays the word ‘market’ is associated with mon- ey-making and fairs are often very expensive. So, a few of us have decided to keep the idea of an old-fashioned market, but get rid of the money bit – and we are calling this event a Share Fair. How does it work? We all have things in our homes that we no longer need – good stuff that is sitting GREENING GREY BRITAIN IN ST LAWRENCE unused and taking up valuable space. We all have clothes we have grown out of (or never worn!) that someone else could use but stays hanging in our wardrobe. All this INTERESTED IN GARDENING? stuff we can bring to a Share Fair and swap. TIME TO DEVOTE TO YOUR COMMUNITY? We all have skills we can share – some of us play musical instruments, or are excel- lent knitters, or good cooks. Some of us are experienced vegetable growers, dog- trainers or song-writers. Some of us mend things, build things or create things. Some The R.H.S. is running a campaign to 'GREEN GREY BRITAIN'. We of can draw well, or speak different languages or hula hoop! All of us are good at have a grey patch - the Jubilee Car Park - not a very attractive something – even if that something is being friendly for half an hour and listening to welcome to the village. Some hard landscaping - raised and ground - somebody who is a bit lonely. level beds, a mass of planting - could make a big difference. We need to think in terms of sustainability, drought resistance, low maintenance And we all have a story to tell – all of us enjoy a good natter from time to time, espe- - quite a challenge! If you would like to be part of a working-party to cially with somebody who can tell us new ideas, or useful information or old stories envision what might be possible, or just to give about where we live.
