CA-WN Social get together

Saturday 24 January 2:00pm - 4:00pm, downstairs in the café at Northampton Museum and Art Gallery
All welcome, this is a very informal chance to get together with CA-WN friends and others to talk about all things environmental and climate. These are always enjoyable and friendly.

CA-WN Climate Cafe

Wednesday 4 February 8:00pm - 9:00pm, online
Climate Cafes welcome everyone to share how they are feeling about climate change. There is no pressure to join in, no commitment to attend subsequent events, just conversation with like-minded people. Register for free https://buytickets.at/climateactionwestnorthamptonshire/1960805

CA-WN Monthly Public Meeting

Thursday 19 February 7:45pm - 9:00pm (online)
Our guest speaker this month is Mike Longman from Northamptonshire Natural History Society on 'Northampton in 100 Years'. Mike leads the Society's Meteorology Section. Those of us rightly worried about the effects of climate change are sometimes too focused on the near future and the 'critical decade' in which we live. This talk will give us a valuable longer term perspective.
