The Incredible Edible Todmorden

Several of us in Hay have been inspired by this community's voluntary action to grow and campaign for local food, and would love to start a similar project here.  Let us know what you think.  Do you know of any unused land around Hay that would be suitable for growing food?

If you are interested in local food come along to the Community Fair on 29th September and share your ideas.

Click here to see Pam Warhurst give a talk about the project at TED.

BBC One Show campaign

See below for an e-mail that has been circulated around various community organisations. Please pass this on to any local voluntary action, campaigns or community organisations that could benefit from exposure and support in the way described.

BBC TV’s The One Show is looking for community projects across the UK that need a helping hand. We want to use our influence to galvanise volunteer efforts in different schemes for a new weekly feature on the programme in the coming months.

For example - Perhaps you have a community hall that needs a lick of paint and a good tidy up but haven’t been able to organise a volunteer day to sort it out - Let us see what we can do.

Has your local fireworks display/concert been forced to cancel? Maybe we can help.

Is your community bus service at risk unless more volunteers are found? Let the One Show spearhead the search to keep it going.

Or maybe you have a dedicated community stalwart who deserves a big thank you – let the One Show organise a suitable celebration.

We are currently at the early stages of planning this but please get in touch as soon as possible if you think you have suitable project or idea.  

Email Richard.park@bbc.co.uk and mark your emails ‘One Show Community Action’.

Josie Pearson to Open Community Fair

Josie Pearson has confirmed that she will open the Hay Community Fair at Hay Castle on the 29th September.  The paralympian won a gold medal in the  F51/52/53 discus on Friday and also broke the world record in each of her first three throws.  She won by a huge margin, and Hay has been buzzing since the event.  Those who know her were not totally surprised by her success, but are overjoyed for her.  I am sure she will be a source of inspiration for many people for many years to come, and she will receive a hero's welcome when she returns home.
