Those Totnesians, eh viewers? They’re full of ideas. Their latest ‘initiative’ is winningly titled Totnes, The Nut Tree Capital Of Britain, and is launched tomorrow with the planting of two walnut and five almond trees in the centre of Totnes. Proposed by Transition Town Totnes, in association with the Dartington-based Agroforestry Research Trust, the project aims to explore how the move to a lower energy society might come about. Citizens of the People’s Republic will probably want to check out a new web-based video channel which boasts over 340 clips of global experts in climate change - and Annie Lennox! ANNIE LENNOX!! What more do you need to know?! Flip over to D+CFilm for the whole enchilada (whatever the hell that is). Posted by Thin The Big Lottery Fund announced last week that Teignbridge District Council and Torbay Council are among the first of 32 local authority areas from across England to benefit from the £124 million Children’s Play programme. After looking at the prickly problem of climate change, those clever chaps at Schumacher College in Totnes have agreed to, like, totally save the planet. Oscars (registered trademark) eat your heart out. We here at the People’s Republic of South Devon are up for a prize at the Plymouth Media Partnership innovation awards for our Melting Pot sessions in association with AEON and Trilogy – have a listen on the downloads page, they’re good. If you’ve got a hankering for some Oscar (registered trademark) action, you don’t need to stay up watching those movie types swagger down the red carpet. You can get involved by just popping along to ‘a cinema near you’ to watch some of the nominations in action. Find out where, and even see the trailers on the D+CFilm arthouse listings page. Why not compare and contrast the stunning performances in the top actress section? It’s particularly strong this year. A funding crisis for charities and other groups in the People’s Republic is predicted if the National Lottery’s funds for good causes are ‘raided’ to meet any overspend on the 2012 Olympics. The lovely chaps at South West Forum, who big-up the region’s voluntary and community groups, estimate that the South West could lose over £20 million if more lottery cash is diverted to help fund the Olympics. |
