'Woman at War' film screening'Woman at War' film screening

October 8, 2019We’re raising important funds for trees and hope you can join us for a special screening of Woman at War on October 8th, 8pm.We are delighted to announce our first Icelandic film, hailed as a classic of our time, both thrilling and darkly comic. Juxtaposed between the breathtaking beauty of rural Iceland and industrial power plants, this film is a rare breed – a crowd pleaser about climate change! Halldóra Geirharosdóttir is brilliant as the mother of all green goddesses, taking on the government and big business as a fearsome eco-warrior, belying her public persona as mild mannered choir director, on a quest to adopt a child, This film was a favourite of the critics and has been called ‘a subversive romp’ … ‘moving, embracing, weirdly beautiful with a mythic feel’. The Guardian Do come and join us for a shot of vodka and something a little different.Compton and Up Marden School Hall, doors and bar open at 7:30pm and the film commences at 8pm. Tickets £6 non-members, £5 members. All welcome. Please note this film is sub-titled.All proceeds to go to The Woodland Trust. Please spread the word and help us get seats on chairs and trees in the ground!The Compton Film ClubCompton and Up Marden CE School, School Lane, Compton, Chichester, West Sussex PO18 9EZ -

October 26, 2019Donations accepted until 11:30am
Newell CentreBorn out of a passion for recycling and reusing and the love of finding a bargain, this simple idea is one of Transition Chichester’s big successes. There are no rules to our quarterly Swap Shops and no money changes hands. It is all about finding new homes for unwanted clutter and keeping stuff out of landfill. People bring whatever they want to bring to our events, held in various venues around the city, and take away as much as they like – all for free!
A Fairtrade cafe, with home-made cakes and bread, and soup from surplus veg, adds to the enjoyment.

The scale of this clean - the biggest across the UK – will provide us with vital data to inform the Governments decisions on a new deposit return scheme. We will be able to specifically show the range of bottles and cans ending up polluting our islands, which need to be included in a new scheme.Join us on Sunday 27th October between 10-12 for this great community event.
