Vote cool

We are great fans of the funky funster artist from Torquay (and citizen of the world) Anne Radu, and we’re not alone. It appears the Tory art magnate Charles Saatchi is also a fan. The Saatchi gallery is running an artistic ’showdown’. Go and have a vote.

Climate change centre campaign

posted by Cptn

The push is on for the country’s first Climate Change Solutions Centre to be situated right here in the PRSD.

There’s growing support of the Climate Change Solutions Centre to be established at Seale-Hayne, the former agricultural college just outside Newton Abbot.

Of course, we’re behind it, and if you’re up for it, go over to the site and sign the petition.

But these people aren’t content on sitting back and waiting for you come to them, they are holding a Make It Happen event, to err, make it happen. Karen Ederhardt-Shelton will read for her book A Women’s Guide to Saving the World, and there’s music, speakers and the odd poet (at the risk of being tautological).

It all takes place at Ashburton Town Hall. Doors open at 8pm, it costs £7 if you’re on a low income and £9 if you’re not (children get in free). There are even buses back to Totnes (£5), but don’t worry, from there you can probably catch a train.

All the proceeds from the event go to support the bid.
