SNGSA will have a little plant stall – if you have any plants to donate could you drop them off around 10 am at the Church?

Sunday 5 June – 12 – 4pm
Big Picnic, Big Lunch
Come and join your neighbours in the Rest Garden. (This year with added portaloos)
There will be lots of things to occupy children, so that adults can have an uninterrupted chat!
Story-telling, finger puppets from recycled materials, musicians, bouncy castle. Free entry.

Help needed from 10 am putting up bunting and gazebos. Many hands make light work.
During the picnic – help at SNGSA table at the entrance. It will involve handing out info about the day and about SNGSA as people arrive, signing up new friends and handing out feedback forms as people leave. A nice sit-down job… would you be able to help for an hour or half an hour? Please say yes!

Poppy Project tea-time fundraiser

Leave a comment

Saturday 2 July, 2 – 5 pm

Friends Meeting House Garden, Ship Street

Join Feminist Brighton for an afternoon of tea and cakes, live music and games, raising money for the Poppy Project.

They are holding an afternoon tea party in the garden of the Friends Meeting House, raising money for the Poppy Project, a women-run service in London supporting victims of trafficking. Their funding has been cut by the Ministry of Justice. All profits from this event will go to the Poppy Project, and they hope it will raise some awareness of the devastating effect of these cuts on women’s services.

Tickets cost £5 and include: homemade cake, and tea, an afternoon of entertainments including the We-Bop choir, Graham Pembrey (solo acoustic), and lots more. There will be traditional garden party games and a massage stall.

Brighton Feminist is an activist network in Brighton, inspired by discussion, debate and action for gender equality and feminist struggle. They run a regular monthly reading and discussion group, along with social gatherings in Brighton.

They are a friendly bunch and welcome new people to join. For more info contact brightonfeminist@googlemail.com or visit feministbrighton.wordpress.com
