De-clutter workshop: Saturday 20th October, 2pm - 5pm

 De-clutter workshop ` Too much stuff? Find out how to lighten your life! 

By popular demand Transition Ashtead, Transition Bookham and the LRA environment sub-commitee, are hosting an afternoon workshop which aims to encourage and inspire us to de-clutter. This is a subject that many of us moan about, and one which is very much a product of modern life when so many things seem so cheap and easy to buy, plus we often inherit lots of stuff from parents or children!  It will be a fun afternoon with professional de-clutterers on hand to help you make a 'clutter clearing' plan and inspire you to sort out your stuff and maybe find a "Clutter clearing buddy"!   Learn where and how to donate, sell and re-cycle your unwanted items and get great ideas for reusing & up-cycling. Refreshments will be served, so we can share tips and ideas over tea & cakes!

Saturday 20^th October, 2pm - 5pm

Abraham Dixon Hall, The Leatherhead Institute, Surrey Kt22 8AH

Tickets are £5.00 in advance (plus donations for teas - proceeds to Friends of Teazle Wood) available from Bartons Bookshop, Leatherhead; Damsel Dress Agency, The Street, Ashtead; and Patchwork Cabin, Bookham.

Teazle Wood: More Support

 LEATHERHEAD’S LOCAL WOOD 

On 31st July 2012 Teazle Wood was purchased by the ‘Friends of Teazle Wood’. The purchase was only made possible by the generosity of many people, businesses and organisations who care about saving the wood for the future generations and ecology to enjoy.

WE NEED TO RAISE £100,000

to repay loans and for a management fund PLEASE HELP by donating to the ‘Friends of Teazle Wood’ fund.

Thank you and enjoy the wood!

Local childcare service faces possible closure ...

Residents of Leatherhead and Ashtead are angered at plans by SCC to terminate the lease agreement with Ashtead Kids Club (AKC). AKC leases the Ashtead Youth Centre from SCC. Ofsted approved AKC provides before, after and holiday childcare for Leatherhead and Ashtead Schools. AKC has not been able to locate another suitable premises to continue it's service. This service is used by over 200 families.

An on line petition has been started to allow residents to show their support:
