NOW - CERTIFICATE AWARDED TO REEPHAM CLUB
|
Reepham
in Norfolk to be one of UK’s First Low Carbon Communities
|
|
 |
Reepham has won up to £1,000,000 in a competition to become a blueprint for sustainable living |
| Rex Warner a member of the
Reepham Green Team have developed and delivered a series of projects to
reduce our carbon emissions - including the world's first trials of
biofuel in domestic boilers, the Reepham Insulation Project (R.I.P. CO2),
and the launch of the Reepham Car Club. Reepham is an example of how
we can create low carbon communities. I'm delighted that Reepham has
been chosen as a winner of the Low Carbon Communities Challenge as it will
enable community groups across the town to deliver the next wave of carbon
reduction projects. These projects will lead to reduced fuel poverty,
reduced transport poverty, and reduced carbon emissions.” Last year the club was involved with the Home Insulation Project by advertising this in the market place and encouraging people to sign up to free insulation. Secondly we organised the Community Kitchen Project and Rex talking to the club thanked them, Terry Sutton & John Tym in particular for participating and organising the upgrading of appliances in community premises to Grade A in energy efficiency. For this we had to be liable for the cost if government monies failed to appear or appear on time. And as this stretched to over £18,000 from about £5,000 any further commitment along these line would not be adviseable. |

MORE BLACKBOARD NEWS FROM TANZANIA |
|
|
| Dear Paul, How are things with you in the UK? I just thought I would write you a quick email to let you know that the blackboards that you at Reepham Rotary gave money towards, are now all finished and ready for distribution to the village schools next week. One teacher was so keen to have their board, they cycled here to collect it, and some chalk, and took it back on their bicycle!!!! They very so pleased with it and said 'Asante sana' (Thank you very much!) over and over! Many thanks again and best wishes, Laura
Hello Paul
I'm back now! Just staying at my
parents for the moment until I feel like braving real life in Norwich!
It's a shock to the system coming back, I am really missing the
simplicity of community life out there....
Anyway, I have just downloaded some of my
pictures, so I'll send them to you in a couple of emails.
Many thanks again for all your support with
this extremely successful and worthwhile project!
Laura
