Yesterday’s Derek vs Derek was something special. A full house at Studio Moffat, an amazing film, lively conversation and ideas, and some great food.

A big thank you to the team behind Derek vs Derek for producing such a wonderful, human, warm and funny film.

Thanks to Karen and Emily for the home baking, Marjory from the Co-op for bringing cakes and snacks, and Jennie and Andrew for taking photos. Thank you, too, to the Climate Hub for their support, and to everyone who came along and made it such an animated and enjoyable afternoon.

See you at the next What If? Film Club!

🍎 Time to start your ShareFest box!

Have a look around the kitchen, garden, greenhouse or bookshelves for things you’re unlikely to use but someone else might love.

You could bring:

🌱 seeds (no need to sort them into packets first!), seedlings, plants or cuttings
🍏 surplus fruit, vegetables or herbs
🥫 unopened pantry food
🫙 homemade preserves and pickles
🍰 home baking
📚 cookery or gardening books

Bring what you can and take what you’ll use. You don’t need to bring something in order to take something home.

Got more apples than you know what to do with? A few unopened things in the cupboard you’re unlikely to use? Seeds, plants, preserves or home baking to share?

Bring them to the ShareFest Food Swap — and take home something you’ll enjoy.

You can bring:

• surplus fruit and vegetables
• unopened, in-date pantry food
• preserves and pickles
• home baking
• seeds and plants

You don’t need to bring something to take something, and there’s no need to swap like for like. Share what you have. Take what you’ll use.

The Moffat Seed Library and seed swap will be there too. We’ll also be launching Hidden Harvests and sharing more about Grow Moffat — two new projects helping us make better use of the food, growing space and skills we already have locally.

Can’t make it on Sunday but have something to contribute? We’re planning a drop-off at Studio Moffat on Friday afternoon and evening. Times to follow.

ShareFest is part of our Climate Ready Moffat and District programme, supported by D&G Climate Hub.

Co-op members anywhere in the UK can still support Moffat Seed Library (until mid-October) by choosing us as their Local Community Fund cause.

OCTOBER IS NATURE MONTH AT WHAT IF? FILM CLUB

We have two brilliant films coming to Studio Moffat this October — beginning with the funny, warm and unexpectedly hopeful Derek vs Derek.

Two neighbouring farmers. Two completely different ideas about what the countryside is for.

On one side of the hedge is Derek Gow, an outspoken rewilder bringing back beavers and other lost species. On the other is Derek Banbury, an intensive dairy, beef and arable farmer who thinks his neighbour has gone completely mad.

They disagree about hedgerows, wild boar, beavers — and almost everything else. But as the film follows them over three years, something much more interesting begins to happen.

Tickets are already selling well, so if you want to be sure of your place, we recommend booking now.

Then, on Sunday 25 October, we turn our attention to a much smaller but equally important creature with Natives: Saving Scotland’s Original Honey Bees.

More about that screening soon.

As always, there's tea, coffee and home baking, followed by the lively, thoughtful conversation that makes What If? Film Club much more than just a trip to the cinema.

Our October Nature Month screenings are funded by Dumfries & Galloway Climate Hub as part of Climate Ready D&G.
