Events | Canalside Community Food - Part 2

Three weeks to go and we are half way to our target of raising £105,000 to buy the land! Thanks to all those who have so far invested generously helping to ensure that Canalside is secure into the future. However we still have some way to go (the carrot is only half full) so if you haven’t had a chance to apply for shares why not come along to our BBQ on Sunday (10th June) where there will be an opportunity to do so in good company! And Dom will be giving tours of the farm so apart from food and drink there is a great chance to see how the season is going and how the veg is growing.

If you can’t get down to the farm don’t panic! You can apply for shares online at https://www.canalsidecommunityfood.org.uk/share-offer/buy-shares-in-the-land/

Tickets for our annual summer party can now be bought here. Alternatively make your way to Gaia wholefood shop in Regent Place, Leamington. If you are a Canalside member, you can buy directly from Ali.

Saturday 16th July, 7pm until late at Canalside Community Food social area.

The event will feature all the usual summer loveliness in our pole barn and spacious grassy social area:

• Live music and dancing – with The Reckless Rhubarb Barn Dance Band
• Fully licenced bar selling local ales and ciders and delicious organic soft drinks
• Hot food, using the bounty of fabulous organic vegetables from our fields
• Open mic for any budding musicians, poets and performers
• Fire circle
• Family friendly – under 16s get in free
• Camp over if you don’t want to have to get home at the end of the evening

Tickets are £7, or £5 for Canalside members (booking fee applies to website ticket sales). Under 16s get in free, but please give numbers to help with our planning.

The Warwick Food group is organising a joint event with The Pod in Coventry entitled: Food Union meets Disco Salad!

The event will be on the 11th June 2014 – 5-9pm and it will include:

5-7pm: Disco Salad made out of food that would otherwise go to waste. Salad will be prepared by volunteers and will be given for free, all this listening to music played by DJ Mr Lowndes (this event will be similar to a previous Disco Soup organised at the University of Warwick).

7-9pm: PechaKucha-style presentations (20 slides in 20 seconds each!) followed by discussion on the subject of food. We are inviting a fascinating panel of six speakers that will share their experiences ranging from food catering, public health and foraging.

Come along to share ideas and experiences!

Please register to guarantee your place.

For any additional information, please contact Carla Sarrouy (c.sarrouy@warwick.ac.uk) or the Food GRP (foodgrpteam@warwick.ac.uk) or go to:

Dear all,
Following the shared enthusiasm after Tristram Stuart’s talk at the University of Warwick on the 27th November, there have been discussions about organising a Disco Soup event.
If you’re interested in this initiative and would like to learn more about it, come along to our inaugural meeting (on Wed 15th Jan – 18:00-20:00) in which we will decide a suitable time and place to hold a Disco Soup on campus.
Hoping to see you there!
All the best,
Food GRP
