For those of you unable to make our cinema screening of We Are Together, it's being shown on Channel 4 this Sunday at 7.30pm! We Are Together is the amazing story of Agape, an African Childrens Choir whose members are all aids orphans. Following their story over the course of a year, the film is a roller coaster of heart warming, heart breaking but overwhelmingly inspirational and is well worth watching. And, if you like the music, we have discounted CD's of the film soundtrack for sale! At £10 + £1 PnP (or free PnP if you collect them from me in person!) it's a great present, as well as a good soundtrack to summer barbecues. All the profits are going to the RISE Foundation which supports aids orphanages across South Africa. Please email me on oxfambath@yahoo.co.uk if yo uwould like more information. Janine | ||

Hi All, After the success of Saturday's stall, especially around the Knit for Poverty campaign, we're having a bit of a Stitch n Bitch as an opportunity to get together and get creative for the latest Oxfam Campaign! On Thursday 14th August from 8pm, join us at Green Park Brasserie to have a summer evening drink outside (or inside if the early part of the summer is anything to go by!) and to knit as many squares as we can for the World's Largest Baby Blanket! We'll have plenty of wool and needles, so don't worry about not having 'equipment' and there will be people who can teach you what to do - so even if you can't knit yet, don't let that stop you!
But why knit a blanket? For every mum, the day her child is born should

We're aiming for 250,000 patches - one for every mum who should have survived pregnancy in the last six months. This will really show world leaders that we are watching & demanding action - so much so we're willing to really put effort into creating the world's biggest baby blanket! So if you can, do join us.

THE GRAND PRODUCE SHOW at NEW ORIEL HALL, LARKHALL on SUNDAY 31 AUGUST 2008 is an open competition for locally grown fruit, veg, flowers, arts, crafts and culinary skills - children are catered for too. Anyone who lives or works in B&NES can enter but notification of entries must be forwarded to the registrar, Brigitte Sibbick, by 5.30pm on Saturday 30th August. Schedule/entry forms available from: www.banes-allotments/centenary/events or send me your postal address by email The show celebrates the skills practised by gardeners growing fruit, vegetable and flowers over the last 100 years. Larkhall allotments were set up in 1908, following implementation of an Act of Parliament which, in essence, is still in place today. The 1908 Allotments Act enabled families to grow their own food on land provided by the local authority. Admittedly, at the time, this applied to poor people who would otherwise have starved but the principle is still valid: anyone who wants to grow their own food should be able to. However, the rising waiting lists for allotments in Bath (along with many towns and cities in England) indicate a growing need that has to be satisfied. The Grand Produce Show 2008 looks to the future as well as the past. Current dependence on the supply of food from around the globe needs to be balanced with greater availability of locally grown produce. Most of the land that used to supply Bath in plenty has, long since, been developed. Pockets of land need to be found to provide more growing space. The Allotment Association is working with B&NES Council to increase the number of allotment plots available. Local community groups involved in community food growing will be participating in the event including Larkhall Saves The Planet ( a 'spoke' of Transition Bath), Bath Organic Community Garden and Broadlands Orchard. The Show will be open to the public from 2pm. Admission £1 at the door. The Show is being organised by B&NES Allotments Association as part of a season of events to celebrate the allotments centenary. The season ends with two public lectures at the Guildhall, Bath by Professor Chris Baines and Gardeners World's Carol Klein. Further details will be sent out in September. Start: 14:00
