It was great to see so many people at our free film showing of ‘Message in the Waves’ last night, there must’ve been nearly 60 of us!
We hope you enjoyed the evening and thank you for your comments and questions after the film, we want there to be lots of healthy discussion and a sharing of ideas about achieving our aims.
We are aware that many questions didn’t get fully answered last night and so will be adding a summary to our website of what CarryAbag has done so far; what we are planning now/ideas for the future; and how people can get involved. Please do get in touch if you have any thoughts or further questions…we WANT to hear from you!
Finally…a big thank you to Vicki and Sarah for doing the refreshments, Angie for looking after bag sales, Bobbie and Mark for doorman duties, and to Chesham Town Council for generously giving us the space and technology :>)
Look forward to seeing you again soon…
Don’t forget the FREE viewing of Message in The Waves tonight at Chehsam Town Hall, doors open 7.30, the film starts at 8pm. Refreshments and a discussion afterwards, all in all a top evening out.
The film is beautiful and thought provoking, so don’t miss out on your chance to see it.
Julia and Donna will be leafleting the town this Saturday. We will be handing out flyers for the film Hawai’i: Message in the Waves which will be shown at the Town Hall on Wednesday, 13th February.
Do come and see us and support the film on Wednesday. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and light refreshments will be available. The film scheduled to start at 8:00 p.m. The CarryAbag team will all be available afterwards for a panel discussion so please come along and let us know what you think.
…. The front page of today’s Independent would beg to differ, as there is now a ‘plastic soup’ in the Pacific that is twice the size of the US.
It’s an interesting and sobering read.
