The Human Wind Turbine Day - 29th September 2012, 1.30pm, at Sellindge Sports & Social Club

ALDINGTON * BRABOURNE * COURT-AT- STREET * LYMPNE * LYMINGE NEWINGREEN * SELLINDGE * SMEETH * STANFORD

THE HUMAN WIND TURBINE DAY

A CHANGE OF PLAN

We now meet at Sellindge Sports & Social Club at 1.30pm on Saturday 29th September - CAR PARKING IS AVAILABLE BUT WALK IF YOU CAN. PHOTO CALL 2.30pm with a bar and refreshments available (click here to see a copy of the flyer in a new tab).

Come and all join together for the Villages demonstration on Saturday 29th September, 1.30pm at Sellindge Sports & Social Club for a massive show of force against all proposed seven huge wind turbine machines that would turn our Villages and our countryside into an industrial landscape for generations to come. Financial interests have long wanted to industrialise our part of the world. The seven huge wind turbine machines would open the way for a massive investment in factories and warehouses.

OUR HOMES, OUR VILLAGES, OUR COUNTRYSIDE : THEY ARE ALL WORTH FIGHTING FOR!

Together we can stop the industrialisation of our Villages

Let’s all say NO and let Ecotricity and the Planners know we mean NO to the proposed Industrial Wind Turbine Machines. Let’s improve life here – not destroy it!

We are going to meet at the Sports and Social Club in Swan Lane on Saturday 29th September where we will form a 125 metre (410ft) wind turbine by holding hands or laying down (if dry) with a huge N O alongside. Don't be put off If the weather is wet. Bring your brollies, these would look just as effective in the newspapers. Aerial photographs will be taken with press and media in attendance. Make a banner and have your say. You might see yourselves on TV. A bar and refreshments will be available with hog roast, burgers and hot dogs and there will be games for the children.

Yes please join us! Our Communities – our Homes and Villages and Countryside are all worth fighting for!

VOLUNTEERS WANTED - URGENT APPEAL

The event is so big that we need extra helpers to ensure that all goes to plan. You can be any age, any size and above all, willing.

We need Stewards for:
Car parking…..Coconut shy…..General assembling of Human Wind Turbine…..Raffle Tickets

HAS ANYONE GOT: A Megaphone?

Please email:  sellindgeresidents@gmail.com or telephone 01303-812593.
