Green drinks
We are going to discuss a proposal to set up a Green Haslemere Action Team to plan and coordinate restoration and conservation of Haslemere green spaces that get overlooked by council and other organisations, as well as talk about other green issues of the moment. From 7.30pm on Thursday 6 November in the Snug at The Mill in Critchmere Lane.

Books wanted
We urgently need books for our stall at Haslemere's Christmas Market. We need paperback fiction and non-fiction as well as children's and young adults' books. The market is our biggest fund raiser of the year helping support our various climate and biodiversity activities. All donations will be gratefully received. We can collect or you can drop the books off to us. Email us on info@transitionhaslemere.org to arrange a collection or drop off. The market will be from 10am to 4pm on Sunday 7 December.

Help deadhedge in the SANG
Last year TH volunteers joined with other community volunteers to create a deadhedge at the Sturt Farm SANG public woodland to protect an area of habitat. This now needs replenishing and extending. If you can help, join town council and COPSE volunteers from 10am to 12 noon on Saturday 8 November. Meet by the entrance to the SANG on Grasslands Close, Haslemere. Please let Claire know if you plan to come and for further relevant information: clairematthes.copse@gmail.com

Garden tree give away
Surrey County Council is giving away trees for free to local residents to plant in their gardens. The trees will be small to medium-sized native broadleaf species and will come with a guide for planting. You will be able to collect trees from the Witley Recycling Centre between 9am and 4pm on Friday 28 November or Monday 1 December.

The world that we want
Extinction Rebellion will be presenting a talk by Carol Foussatt as an antidote to the doom and gloom that many of us can feel about the climate and ecological emergency. It will aim to activate participants by showing that a world worth living in is possible, and to provide tangible actions that can be taken today to make that world a reality. 7pm Monday 3 November at the Spire Church, South Street, Farnham GU9 7QU.
