November regional conferences in London and Hatfield
29 October 2009
Regional conferences give exciting opportunities to meet A Rocha Friends and
be inspired as you hear more about activities locally and nationally.
There are two conferences in November:
If you've not yet visited Minet Country Park (pictured) and live within
access of London, then the regional conference on 7th November
gives you the opportunity as it starts with an optional tour around the park.
That's followed by talks by A Rocha directors Steve Hughes on the national A
Rocha picture, Dave Bookless who will guide our theological thinking and Helen
Demopoulos will talk about developments and pressures at Minet. Will
Campbell-Clause will also lead us in thinking about practical local action.
Later in the month (21st) there is another chance to meet, this time at
Hatfield in the East of England Region. Steve Hughes will again
be with us and also Andy Lester who will outline the development of A Rocha
projects. We are also thrilled that Will and Rachel Simonson will join us to
speak of recent events in A Rocha Portugal. Our six afternoon speakers will come
from the region to inspire us to practical action and include representatives
from the first Eco-cathedral, a church that has installed a ground source heat
pump, a churchyard project, citizen science and measuring your carbon footprint.
Each conference costs £5 and please bring a packed lunch.
There is still time to book to join us. If you wish to come to the London
conference we will ask you to pay on the day but please email to confirm your
booking to elaine.brown@arocha.org
as soon as possible. If you would like to join the Hatfield conference and do
not have a booking form or would like further details, please contact
margaret.young@arocha.org.
