SUMMARY:Good News Evening
DESCRIPTION:It is very easy to get depressed about the state of the world. For 2G3S the threats to our natural environment have a particular resonance. But there IS a lot of good news; we just rarely hear about it. So we are holding a ‘Good News Evening’. Over some refreshments we’ll share information about positive developments for our communities\, for our climate and for biodiversity both locally and further afield. \nAll are welcome to join us; contributions to the good news and/or sweet and savoury nibbles are optional. Come along and and be inspired – you might leave with a spring in your step.

SUMMARY:2G3S Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The 2G3S Book Club meets every 3 months to discuss a book that has some relationship to green living and the natural world. \nThis time we will be discussing Land Smart by Tom Heap. \n“Rising demand for food\, energy and carbon capture all place increased pressure on land\, in the process reducing that available for nature. It’s a huge issue\, yet how to use land in smart ways is one of the least discussed questions of our times.”\n– Tony Juniper CBE\, environmentalist \nIn this book\, Tom Heap puts the case that if we use land cleverly it can give both humanity and nature the space to thrive on just the one planet\, but if not\, we’re in trouble. \nIf you want to join us at Book Club please send an email to 2G3S with “Book Club” in the title (so we can let you know of any changes and future events).

DESCRIPTION:Our volunteer run bike repair workshops offer free ‘Dr Bike’ type safety checks\, with adjustments and minor repairs for a donation. \nWe are open every Tuesday between 3pm and 5:30 pm\, but we are also open on the last Saturday of the month with the same opening hours\, \nDrag that bike out of your shed or garage\, bring it to us\, and hopefully we can show you how we make it easier and safer to ride. Whether or not you ride regularly we will try to improve your bike with our simple checks and service. \nNormally only a series of simple things are needed to make a bike serviceable\, and then it should require much less effort to ride! And we can advise on best way to tackle other issues. \nWe offer a free 23-point check\, and we can do minor repairs for a donation (just to help us maintain a stock of commonly used spares). \nChildren are welcome but must bring a responsible adult with them as well as their bike. \nWe can’t undertake work on e-Bike electrics\, but we can deal with the non-electrical aspects of e-bikes such as brakes. Some of our volunteers are experienced in hydraulic bike brake repairs/fluid change. \nContact us either by email at drbikestapleford@gmail.com\, or just come and pay us a visit when we are open – every Tuesday afternoon from 3pm to 5:30pm and now also the monthly Saturday sessions.   There is no need to book.

SUMMARY:We Need to talk about Climate and Nature Action
DESCRIPTION:Great Shelford Library 2pm 26th February\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent organised by Cambridgeshire Libraries \nFree event\, but donations appreciated. \nThe theme of this workshop is “How to get started with individual climate action AND look after your wellbeing whilst doing so”. Led by an experienced facilitator\, Elisabeth Goodman-Spain. \nHuman-made climate change\, and associated impacts on nature and on our way of life are very real and very present. Yet\, this is still a subject that many people find difficult to face or talk about with those around them. It can be equally difficult to choose where to begin to take action\, let alone feel confident that such action will have sufficient impact. The net result can be isolating and overwhelming. This interactive seminar is an opportunity to air and hear your fears voiced with and by others\, through small group discussion and reflection in pairs and individually. It will enable you to explore how to begin positive action in a way that gives you meaning\, connects you with others and also nurtures your wellbeing. \nPlease book ahead in the library\, or contact: \nCambourne.referral@cambridgeshire.gov.uk

SUMMARY:Great Shelford Repair Cafe and SWISH
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE The venue for this event will be in the Memorial Hall in Great Shelford – this is a different venue from our usual Repair Cafes in Great Shelford. \n \nWe are combining this repair cafe with a clothes swap (SWISH). \nSWISH: The clothes swap relies on donations of unwanted clothes that are clean and in good condition\, brought in on the day or donated in advance. Once these are all on display\, the SWISH opens\, and people can browse the display and hopefully find something new (to them) that they can take away.  We’ll accept clothing on the day from 2:15 pm to 3pm\, and the SWISH will open at 3pm and close around 4:30pm. Anyone can choose items to take away – you don’t have to have donated clothes. If you have clothes to donate in advance\, contact us on the email address below. \nREPAIR CAFE: Bring along your broken item and a skilled volunteer will help you fix it!  We can tackle a wide variety of repairs including jewellery\, clothes and fabrics\, electrical and electronic devices\, and other items.  Please note that we will not be able to replace cracked screens on phones or tablets. The repairers are brilliant and can fix a lot of things but there are no g uarantees. \nBOOKINGS ARE NOW CLOSED BUT WE HAVE SOME CAPACITY FOR UNBOOKED ITEMS \nIf you have a bicycle which needs attention\, you don’t have to wait till this event – you can bring it to one of the weekly Dr Bike Stapleford workshops held each Tuesday afternoon from 3pm – 5:30pm at the Old Slaughterhouse on Church Street in Stapleford. \nBooking is highly recommended to avoid a long wait on the day\, and to make things fair we politely request only one item per person. \nHere is a link to the booking form:    https://forms.gle/vMfAtLoAffKHbRfu8 \nWe ask all visitors to read and sign our repair agreement as we are all volunteers. \nIt’s a free event but donations are very welcome. Tea and cake will be available of course! \nIf you have any questions\, please email 2G3Srepaircafes@gmail.com but please note we can’t accept bookings via email. \nOrganised by 2G3S (Going Greener in the Shelfords\, Stapleford and Sawston). https://2g3s.staplefordvillage.org.uk   – part of the Cambridgeshire Repair Cafe Network. \nYou can find this event\, along with many other repair cafes in the South Cambs area\, listed on the Cambridge Carbon Footprint website. \nLocation\nGreat Shelford Memorial Hall\, Woollards Lane\, Great Shelford\, CB22 5LZ
