Climate and Nature

Do you live in the Parish, attend Buriton School, work in Buriton or belong to any of the village groups?  If so you can enter this nature-themed Art Show with a chance to win best in show in lots of categories.  There are no age limits, but if you are under 18, please pop your age on your entry submission. 

You are also welcome to put a price on your work if you would like to offer it for sale on the day. 

The Show will be alongside the Village Coffee Morning in Buriton Village Hall on Saturday, 1st November from 10.30 – 12.30

These are important times for helping mature and caring for the planet – and the survey circulated with the Parish Magazine was designed to find out what’s happening right here in this parish, collecting ideas that can be shared more widely.

Many thanks to everyone who took part.

The results showed the widespread adoption of many actions and it’s encouraging to see how much is happening.

Unsurprisingly, simple actions are the most widely adopted – but there are also some more ambitious steps. 

These are important times for helping nature and caring for the planet, and we can all probably do a bit. 

The BEA’s quick survey (which was distributed with the Parish Magazine) is designed to find out what’s happening in the parish – collecting ideas that can be shared more widely. 

The survey should only take a couple of minutes to do and the forms can be returned either through the letterbox at the village hall or in collecting boxes in the church or The Nest.  

The deadline is Monday 31^st March and everyone is thanked for taking part. 

The next in the series of coffee mornings will be held in the Village Hall from 10.30am to 12.30. Pop in for a chat, tea, coffee and cake – and more. Everybody is guaranteed a warm welcome! 

Guests from Harting’s regular Repair Cafe will be on hand to explain how they now provide a place where broken items can be taken and repaired or advice given. Their volunteers turn their hand to most things: from broken chairs to lamps and vacuum cleaners, from garden tools or children’s toys to repairing clothes. Hundreds of items have been reinvigorated.

Another demonstration event from Buriton’s own Master Chef, Heinrich Boreniok.

The evening will highlight a number of recipes from Heinrich’s special Buriton booklet.

With tips for healthy cooking and eating well, whilst looking after the planet.

And plenty of opportunities for questions and discussions.
