SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 12TH 3pm - 7pm: ALLOTMENT & GARDEN PRODUCE SHOW with LOCAL FOOD FESTIVAL and also "FOOD Inc" FILM at Hanover Community Centre, Southover Street.

Please bring your lovely foodstuff that you've grown - to display & celebrate the wonderful abundance of food at this time of year. (You could also bring fruit, flowers & herbs to display). There will be a table for swapping surplus produce!

The event & film is free, there will be tea, cakes & lovely savouries to eat. Also lots of information on where you can buy lovely local food and organic stuff.

The 'Food Inc' film is a documentary that "uses style and humour" & interviews to look at the food industries - how what we eat affect ourselves & people in other countries: culturally, ethically, economically, and environmentally. The film also looks at - industrial methods of production, patenting of seeds, agricultural subsidies, exploitation of food industry workers... the real cost of the food we eat.

If you would like to get involved in the event as an individual, community group or food supplier, please contact Jackie on 01273 240044. The event is organised by Sarah, Caroline, Les, Sue & Jackie from the FOOD FOR CHANGE group - part of a Hanover 'Transition' Action Group.
