Events at HQ
Wednesday, 17 March 2010
The Green Party in Bristol has organised a series of talks and events in the run-up to the 2010 elections at 17, Great George St. BS1 5QT, just up from St. George's Bristol. The lovely Georgian building has been very kindly donated to us for the election campaign.
All events are free unless otherwise stated and will include time for discussion. A donation to the Green Party on the night would be much appreciated.
Tomorrow night at 7 p.m. at HQ we will be showing Tracy Worcester's hard-hitting documentary about the food industry, Pig Business.
Do come along and/or tell your friends. We are hoping to have Tracy field questions via Skype after the screening.
Next week at 7 p.m. at HQ on Thursday, 25th March, we will present a cunning plan for reducing carbon emissions in Bristol while generating heat and power for the city at the same time. Come along to hear the plan and offer your views.

On Tuesday, 20th April, Bristol South Green Party will be showing the film Age of Stupid starring Pete Postlethwaite as a man living alone in the devastated world of 2055, looking at old footage from 2008 and asking: why didn’t we stop climate change when we had the chance? Venue: Thunderbolt Pub, 124 Bath Road, Totterdown BS4 3ED.
On Thursday, 22nd April, Green Party member and human rights activist Peter Tatchell will talk on the themes of "The future is Green" and "Big business isn't working" at the Thunderbolt pub, 124, Bath Road, Totterdown BS4 3ED from 8 p.m. £3 on the door.
