We’ve decided, reluctantly, to CANCEL the XR Wandsworth Zoom meeting scheduled for this Tuesday, 17th December (quite a lot of other meetings happening at the same time … as well as that pre-Christmas rush). Have a great seasonal break, everyone, and see you in the new year!

Where

Outside Lloyds Bank Tooting
12 Mitcham Rd
SW17 9ND
United Kingdom

Lloyds Bank is the least bad of the Big Five UK high street banks in terms of financing fossil fuels. It is currently revising its climate policies. Can we push Lloyds to become the responsible bank we need to fund our future, catering for companies, charities and individuals? 

Do join us outside Lloyds in Tooting from 12pm until 1.30pm. We'll have leaflets, banners, and maybe a bit of a Christmas theme!

Southside Shopping Centre
Wandsworth High St
SW18 4TF
United Kingdom

It is now a well-established tradition for Green Santa and his Elves to turn up at Southside Shopping Centre on a Saturday before Christmas for singing, dancing and spreading the message that showing your love doesn't have to mean buying a whole load of 'stuff'. And why break with a tradition if it's a good one? We'll be outside Southside from 11am to 1pm, then heading off to a nearby pub - do join us. All welcome!

Our fortnightly planning meetings are a good way to meet others from the Wandsworth group and get involved in planning future events. If you're new and prefer just to take a back seat and observe for a bit, that's fine. All welcome!

The Distillery Room, Four Thieves pub

The next XR Wandsworth book club meeting will discuss 'Regenesis' by George Monbiot.
This is a readable and passionate review of our global food systems. It ranges from the joy of an orchard to the complex socioeconomics and global politics of food. We know George Monbiot is never boring!  Please join us at the Four Thieves pub 6.30 - 8pm to talk about the book and the issues it raises. You will be sure of good company and a great discussion - all welcome!

Gareth James will talk about the work of Wild Clapham, an independent charity working with Lambeth Council and other stakeholder groups to improve the ecology and biodiversity of Clapham Common. Wild Clapham’s vision for the Common is to improve sustainable habitat for wildlife through the creation of scrubland, wildflower meadows, woodland and wetland. Gareth will also talk about his journey on how to work effectively with local authorities and organise community groups to help with this work. 

The talk is free but please register if you'd like to come. All welcome!

Brewer's Inn
147 East Hill
SW18 2QB
United Kingdom

This Tuesday, instead of having our usual online Zoom planning session, we’ll be meeting in the Brewer's Inn, 147 East Hill from 7.00. The Brewers Inn is just opposite the entrance to Wandsworth Town Hall where a number of us will be joining the lobby of Wandsworth Council’s Pensions Committee by the local Palestine Support Campaign. It seems there is a significant overlap in investments with companies which are also complicit in funding fossil fuels. The lobby runs from 6.15 to 7.00. Hope to see you there! All welcome!
