PEOPLE’S EMERGENCY BRIEFING FILM

Have you seen this free film yet?

Stathern 'War Memorial Institute' Village Hall
19 Main Street, Stathern LE14 4HW
Sunday 22nd November 3pm

Nine leading UK scientists and experts talk about the climate and nature crises, with the latest evidence and why it matters for things like:

🌧️ Extreme weather
🍞 Food security
🏥 Health
💷 Cost of living
🌳 Nature loss

“It felt uplifting, empowering, engaging, revitalising, informative. It left me wanting to double down on my own efforts and reminded me to do it together, not alone 🤲”

Suitable for age 16+

Reserve your FREE ticket:
https://buytickets.at/pebnotts/2484772

NOTE: The film is intended as a catalyst for a wider public conversation and a stepping stone towards a live televised national briefing, introduced by the Prime Minister and delivered by independent experts, so that the whole country can be fully informed about the risks we face and the solutions available.

The petition calling for this reached over 100,000 signatures https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/767687 and Parliament has now agreed to debate it on 16 November 2026 - watch online on https://www.youtube.com/UKParliament

Stathern May Ball
Chequers at Woolsthorpe

Our huge thanks to everyone who supported the Stathern May Ball by attending on the night, buying raffle tickets and bidding in the live auction. The local businesses and individuals who kindly donated prizes for the live auction and raffle were so generous, and everyone had a super night!

You helped us to raise a fantastic £3,800, of which we are donating £1,200 to The Brain Tumour Charity, in recognition of friends and neighbours in our community who have been affected by a brain tumour. The remainder will go towards the major structural, layout and green energy improvements planned for our War Memorial Institute.

You are amazing, thank you!
Love from the Stathern WMI Ball Team

Indeed, a new floor 😍😍😍!

With thanks to all our regular hirers and users for their patience whilst we closed the WMI for the Half Term week to undertake this essential maintenance work.

The result? A sterling job, with a beautiful finish, and a really important piece of work for everyone who uses the hall - but it has taken a big chunk out of the reserves we are building up for our major refurbishment and extension project🙄

Help us put some £££ back in by buying an online raffle ticket https://www.zeffy.com/en-GB/ticketing/stathern-may-ball-raffle - less than 24 hours to go, ticket sales close at 6pm tomorrow, live draw at the WMI at 7pm🙃🍀
