​Climate Conversations....how do WE change?

Join the climate change conversationHere at the Victoria Hall, Grange-over-Sands from 7 - 9pm tonight Thursday 27th February.
A new round of ‘Climate Conversations’ is being held to allow residents in South Lakeland the chance to have their say on issues around climate change and biodiversity loss.
These will be the third round of conversation events run by the council since 2018.
In that time we have:
  • Become the first council in Cumbria to declare a climate emergency
  • Adopted policies outlining how it aims to tackle climate change and passed a motion on biodiversity loss
  • Drawn up an action-plan based on the ideas put forward at the climate conversations
Now we're continuing the conversation – and once again we're inviting residents along to contribute ideas and suggestions
For more information visit the website: https://www.southlakeland.gov.uk/news/join-the-climate-change-conversation/

The Carnival Band is coming to Grange

8/5/2019

The Carnival Band will be performing in the Victoria Hall on Friday 17th May 2019 at 7.30pm.
From the riotous pre-Lent carnivals of medieval Europe to the midwinter revelry of the Lord of Misrule, The Carnival Band take us through the year, imaginatively weaving folk, historical and contemporary strands from England and abroad into a rich tapestry of seasonal celebration.  Playing an extraordinary mix of instruments, their blend of folk, world, classical and contemporary influences defies definition.  "Purists must have been squirming.  The rest of us were having too much fun to care!" (York Press) www.carnivalband.com
Tickets: £12 available from Grange Information Centre either in person or Tel: 015395 34026

We are looking for people to join our friendly team of volunteers to help in the Information Centre.  Training will be given, don't worry, you don't have to know everything about Grange before you volunteer!
Could you spare just 3 hours a week: either a morning or an afternoon?
We are open seven days a week in summer and any day you could help would be appreciated.
