Local news for Thursday 14th May

Grayshott Cricket Club celebrates 130 years this year and has teams for all people and recently introduced walking cricket.

Women’s involvement in cricket goes back a long way but facilities have lagged behind, so the Club, which is open to members from any area, recognising the explosion in womens' and girls' involvement is appealing for £10,000 to bring their pavilion facilities up to date, and they have just heard that  Sports England will match-fund.

Ladies Captain Al Gray, talking to Mike Waddington, speaks about getting involved in cricket and what the club offers different groups of people, including equipment.

She says that with the Women's 20;20 World Cup coming up, there will be even more interest in the sport. Grayshott says get involved.

The appeal closes in 30 days.

Petersfield Butser-results and interview 

A National Emergency Briefing, attended by about 1,200 MPs, civil servants and others, last November, heard high powered experts talk about the data and trends for Extreme weather, Food security, Health, and the Cost of living. 

A film  - The People's Emergency Briefing - was made from interviews by Chris Packham to distill what the experts said and PeCAN have organised a free showing on Thursday 21 May, at TPS, at 6:30pm.

The 50 minute film will be followed by a panel discussion, that includes local MP Daman Hinds.

Paul Parkin, a PeCAN Trustee, tells us more about its purpose as well as the progress PeCAN is making.
