The notes from our recent meeting on 29 April are available to view.
Nikki Coome (accompanied by Jenny and Eloise) from Plastic Free Thatcham and Newbury gave an extremely interesting and informative talk about the issues we have with plastic usage and how Bucklebury, as a community, could become part of the Plastic Free Communities movement.
Would you be interested in becoming our "Plastic Free Bucklebury" lead?
We would need one person to sign up as the lead for the project, but it shouldn’t be too demanding as we would become part of the Thatcham steering group. The scheme is extremely well structured with all the information and guidance easily available. We need to get a sub committee organised for this project and they would be involved in signing up businesses and community allies and helping them to assess how they could reduce their plastics.
Would you like to help run a Bucklebury Repair Café?
Thatcham and Newbury Repair Café have kindly allowed a small group from Sustainable Bucklebury to visit the Thatcham Repair Café on Sunday 29 June. We would like to use this opportunity to see how they are running their Repair Cafes so successfully so we can set-up using similar processes and layout.
If you would like to be part of this visit, and help us start our own local Repair Café please let us know.
Please also get in contact if you would be interested in volunteering for our Plastic Free Bucklebury lead!
Our next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday 17 June and we have invited Penny Locke from Hungerford Food Community who will be presenting on sustainable food.
