BIG
GREEN GATHERING
Our
stall attracted a lot of interest and the Big Green
Gathering proved to be an excellent forum for discussion
and networking. We raised £250 through the sale
of badges and donations. Much of the money was raised
through the efforts of 11 year old Molly Hawthorne from
Mid Wales who was our super sales woman!!

Penni Colman, aged 14, has recorded a CD 'It's Only
Thunder' for the children of Iraq. This costs £2.50 and
is available from her website: www.allthatspenni.com
"During the build-up to the Iraq war, a group of us in Falmouth
decided to organise an art exhibition that opposed the UK's
drive to war, called Voicing Dissent. We decided
to focus on the work of CVoW, in terms of raising both awareness
and funds. We also put on a gig which raised £1,084,
and have recorded some CDs. The art exhibition has raised £660.
Almost as important is the interest it has raised locally in
terms of what the UK is doing in Iraq, and hopefully this will
have knock on effects in the long term."
