1) All this week is the "Go Green Week" at the University of Warwick. More information can be found here. There is a "Green Question Time" event on Thursday night, which involves Ian Davison (the Green candidate in 2005 in Warwick/Leamington) and Michael Meacher (former Environment minister for Labour).
2) I'm giving a talk to Coventry University's International Relations Society next Tuesday, the 26th February, 5pm for a 530pm start. It's part of Cov Uni's Environment Week. It'll be at Meeting Room 1 in their Students Union building, in Priory Street, by the Cathedral.
3) On Saturday 23rd February, from 1230pm to 330pm, the Herbert is having a drop in session called "Queering Coventry" as part of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) History Month. The Herbert is launching a project to collect the LGBT history of Coventry. As they say: "Whether you remember the Christmas lights at the Stonebridge 'magic' roundabout, Chris Smith MP coming out in Rugby, or the founding of Lesbian Line and Coventry Friend – or if you want to help collect this history – please come along."
4) Garden Organic Ryton is having a short course on Saturday 1st March, 130pm to 430pm, on "Planning an organic vegetable garden", £25 for members, £30 for non-members. It's their beginners guide to organic vegetable growing -- basic organic principles, plot planning and design, assessing soil type and fertility and planning a crop rotation.
5) There will be a Palestinian brunch, and talk, on Sunday 2nd March, 1pm to 4pm, at Habibi's on Far Gosford Street. Taysir Arbasi is a founder member and project director of Zaytoun in Palestine, who works with marginalised farming communities in the West Bank. You can find Zaytoun olive oil at Kendall's Deli on Earlsdon High Street. If you're interested, contact Ann Farr in advance (for numbers for the food, I suppose) on annfarr@phonecoop.coop, or 02476 679 398.
