This event held in The QEII Room, Shoreham Centre, between 6pm-8pm, will be looking at a whole-house, phased approach to reducing your home’s carbon emissions. Based in Shoreham-by-Sea, Sarah Kemp set up Eskay Architects in 2004 and works with homeowners and developers on extensions, renovations and conversions, specialising in creating comfortable and energy efficient homes (which can also save money on fuel bills).
The panel includes 3 Eco Open Houses householders (who have retrofitted their homes, one of whom is also a business owner), a local builder, an energy adviser who also has experience in draughtproofing, a solar expert and hopefully a Passivhaus architect (latter to be confirmed).

The tour offers you the chance to learn what really happens to all that black bag rubbish! West Sussex have some of the most state-of-the-art waste & recycling plants and processes in the UK, which help to dramatically reduce the volume of waste going to landfill in our county. Some of us took this tour a few years ago and found it really interesting and informative!
The tour will take place on Monday 21st February 2022 at 10am-12pm.
Places are very limited, so if you would like to register for your FREE place, please do so asap via https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/visit-to-biffa-site-warnham-as-part-of-eco-open-houses-tickets-217701490017
Come and join us round the fire, bring acoustic instruments, wood for the fire and celebrate the turn of the year and the returning of the light with us. Coast Café will be open for warming drinks, hot soup and bread – and cake of course!
A new Worthing Morris side, Worthing Larks** will be dancing for about 20 minutes from around 6.30pm, audience participation included too!
This event is always very weather dependent and the Morris can’t dance if it’s wet, so please bear that in mind. Coast will be open, whatever it’s like and we will be there and hopefully have a fire (we’ve done fires when it’s been raining hard in the past so that shouldn’t stop us!) but we may not do anything on the beach if it’s raining really hard. Naturally, this event is subject to current Covid guidelines (as are all our events).
**Worthing Larks – “Worthing’s very own Morris Side and one of the newest on the South coast, following our break from another local Side in 2020. A mixed morris team for members over the age of 13, enthusiastically performing a selection of Cotswold, Border and our very own Broadwater dances to traditional folk instruments.”
Supported by our A&W Council Rangers who will sort and collect any waste we gather and our Local Geocache Group will be joining us. Thanks also to the support from Level 1 for joining us with our new logged Hi Viz jackets so you can’t miss us. See you there!
As usual our amazing team of volunteers will be on hand to share their skills and help you to repair your clothes, toys, bicycles, laptops, small household electrical/electronic items, small items of furniture and knife/scissor sharpening. And don’t forget that we also have lots of refills available in return for suggested donations. Such as household cleaning products, shampoo, conditioner, face and body washes, hand lotion and more!

We really enjoyed last month’s event. The atmosphere was friendly and buzzing and it was inspiring to see so many local producers, makers and community groups together and displaying their great work. It’s all under cover too so, whatever the weather, TTW will be there.
We will be selling books and plants for donations, sharing info on all our projects and hopefully encouraging you to get involved too!
The market will take place on Sunday 21st November at 9.30am-2pm in Freedom Works car park, opposite the Assembly Halls, Stoke Abbott Road, Worthing, BN11 1HJ.
We hope to see you there.
Electrical, computer and household repairs are always very popular but this month we are specifically focussing on sharing the skills of our amazing sewing team. They can show you how to use a sewing machine or overlocker, how to knit (very useful skill to have with Winter fast approaching!) or crochet, they can repair soft toys, add zips, mend tears, holes and rips and restyle or upcycle your clothes. Their talents are endless!

Let’s make a difference – no waste, no plastic, a great opportunity to start changing the way we shop. The Velo Coffee Bus which will be there to provide refreshments, is electric and uses fully compostable cups or bring your own (even better!). Come and enjoy buying from small scale local producers and artisan makers, and chatting to TTW.
