Something kinda oops

We’re not the sort of people to say ‘told you so’ (yeah, right!) but we can’t say we’re surprised to hear Girls Aloud have postponed their Newnham Park show.

Natural events

Half term, and what are you going to do? You could do worse than check out the Torbay Coast and Country Trust for events.

There’s today’s hedgerows and meadows insect thing at Cockington, tomorrow’s activities and games at Berry Head, Thursday’s magical moth lamp thing (although it is quite late, but what the hey, it’s not

Special offer

If you’ve had enough of paper tigers – all mouth, no trousers – then big up your environmental credentials with elephants’ paper. Ok, to be more precise, paper made from elephant poo. Our friends at the Exotic Paper Company (luscious, fun and fair trade stationery) have offered people of the Republic a special offer on

Dance away

Stamp your feet and shake your marracas, you’ll feel better for it. If you need more convincing join in the Flamenco Dancing workshop at the Med Theatre on June 16 between 2pm and 5pm. And don’t worry if you embarrass yourself cause a fortnight later there’s a mask making course. Now that’s joined up thinking.

Tide over

Don’t make waves. Not here in the south west, anyway. The latest Energy White Paper doesn’t go far enough in offering financial support to offshore renewables or renewable heat.
