The holiday season is approaching! If you need some inspiration about low-impact travel, have a read of My Hovercraft is Full of Eels, a new blog by PEDAL members Jane, Chris and Callum, about the train journey across Europe they are planning this summer.

It looks as though the next film is likely to be ‘Home’, we expect it to be shown at St Philips on Wednesday 14th October … but we await confirmation …
But, just to remind you of the last film: The Porty Premiere of Age of Stupid film Sunday 21st June at St Philips Church Hall, Brunstane Road North was a great success. Tea, cakes, wine and beer were laid on by the St Philips fim society … the film was powerful … the discussion led by Ewan Aitken of eco-congregations was really good.
Thanks to Stewart Weaver of St Philips, and Jane Herbstritt of the World Development Movement for making this happen!
If you missed it, the Age of Stupid is well worth seeing: it’s well made, fast moving, covers the issues, has good and engaging human stories in it BUT (or should that be AND?!) it does face the facts of climate change very directly and is imagining a perfectly possible scenario in which humanity is about to be no more. This is a vital reality to face in order that we don’t take that route

Over 80 folk came to the Midsummer celebration at the orchard site (Brunstane Road South, just opposite Brunstane Station) on Saturday 20 June.
People brought food and drink and good humour, and some brought musical instruments (thank you Jicca, Misha and Ian!).
We had lovely weather and the children have created their own climbing and leaping place, leaving the rest of us free to chat and have a relaxing time.

On Car Free Day in September, we will draw names out of a hat to issue five lucky people with a free Ridacard each for one month to help you experiment with making the transition from car use to public transport use! In return, you will pledge to not use your car for the month and keep a diary about your car-free experience. If you would like to take part, please e-mail info@pedal-porty.org.uk or ’phone 669 4981 for further details.
