The state of this stable…!
Julian Thomas2019-12-11T15:52:08+00:00I bet if Mary and Joseph had managed to get a room, the Inn would've cleared up before they arrived? They'll have to put up with a bit off a mess tonight. (Mike, where's your Hoover?)
We lost the debate (but that’s a good thing!)
Julian Thomas2022-08-18T13:27:07+01:00Following on from our previous post, the debate went really badly and we lost... but then we were arguing in the position of a Packaging Manager and actually, didn't believe in what we had to put forward! Backtrack... Our Eco Council went to the Met Office building today to take part in the first ever SAS Plastic Free Conference. SAS' [...]
Eco Council; debating and wishing we lose!
Julian Thomas2022-08-18T13:27:07+01:00Our Eco Council has been invited by Surfers Against Sewage to take part in a debate on Tuesday, one that's going to be extremely challenging... we're playing the part of a Packaging Manufacture and we're supporting the motion that the plastic free programme should be put on pause for another 20 years! This caused some confusion in our brief discussion [...]

Crib On The Green…
Julian Thomas2022-08-18T13:27:07+01:00So Mary and Joseph were at church this morning, and so were a lot of the community, as well as some coffee and cake too. I'm sure Mary just wanted a bit of breathing space in her condition, bless her, but after a few chocolate brownies and a bit of a give-away of the story sung by the school chidren, [...]
