Wednesday's Global Warming meeting postponed

Kensal & Kilburn Better 2018 have postponed the meeting on 'Why aren't we talking/worrying/panicking more about global warning?' that was to be held on Wednesday July 11th because of the clash with England's Word Cup football game.

The organisers said:

As you will likely know, our event scheduled for 7pm on Wednesday 11 July is now a direct clash with England's first World Cup semi-final since 1990.  Although this is a relatively trivial matter compared with global warming and the future of human life on the planet, we have taken the difficult decision to postpone the event.  We want to be fair to our speakers (including Natalie Bennett who would be travelling down from Sheffield) and so we don't want to ask them to come along to address a much-diminished audience.  

We are looking for a new date and will be in touch as soon as possible.

Come on Rachel, Brent is right behind you!

 The BBC has succumbed to pressure and will be screening the Women's World Cup match between England and France on BBC2 at 5pm.

Local woman Rachel Yankey, who scored the second goal against Japan in England's 2-0 win, will have lots of Brent kids cheering her on. She is well known to them from her football training sessions at local schools, after school clubs, and summer training schemes.

I worked with her at Park Lane Primary School when she did after-school football training. She was always hard working, committed and totally unassuming.  She is an excellent role model for local children.
