The Big Lunch 19 July 2009
The Big Lunch is inviting you and all 61 million people across the UK to simultaneously sit down to eat lunch with your neighbours, in the middle of your street as a simple act of community.
A new initiative run by the Eden Project, The Big Lunch encourages communities to come together through growing food and flowers, creating street music, art and theatre, dressing the street and, of course, cooking and eating together.
The day after the Big Lunch, people will walk down their street and know someone in most windows. However, the legacy of The Big Lunch is much bigger than just the day after ... The aim is to give people the tools to strengthen their communities through activities such as neighbourhood-watch, improving local amenities such as youth centres, taking care of the elderly or disabled, making imaginative improvements to the local environment, sharing resources from lawnmowers to cars, and supporting local charities both with money and volunteering time.
Organising a Big Lunch in your area is really easy. The Big Lunch website and printed manual will take you through the process step by step, giving you the tools, templates and resources to make it as simple as possible. You’ll find inspirational ideas and top tips from our ambassadors on the website and you can set up your own Big Lunch, or find others planning one in your street or area by simply entering your post-code on our Big Lunch map.
To find out more visit http://www.thebiglunch.com/ or call 020 7636 8152.

Parish Music Concert 16th May
"Wind music for a summer's evening".
Saturday 16th May 2009 8pm St Nicholas’ Church, Teddington admission £10
(students free)
Trio Ébano makes a welcome return to Parish Music. The group last played for us in November 2004 shortly after their leader, flautist Nicola Shorland, had become Gloucestershire Young Musician of the Year. She continues to be a dedicated chamber musician and has acquired an interesting collection of flutes, some of which she will demonstrate at the concert. The programme will also include solos for flute (Debussy’s ‘Syrinx’) and clarinet (‘Tricolour Capers’ by Eric Mandat), duos for flute and clarinet by Rutter, Elgar and Villa-Lobos, and trios by Shostakovich and Mozart.
Nicola is joined in the current ensemble by clarinettist Lucy Tugwell and bassoonist Hannah Wrieden. In 2006 Trio Ébano took their music to Singapore where they performed with the Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra, and gave recitals and led workshops in various schools. All the members of the trio value teaching as part of their portfolio. Nicola originally learnt by the Suzuki method with Susie Alington and is now herself an accredited Suzuki Flute teacher.
If you need further information please contact 01386 882060 or Gill Humphrey (01386 881479).
