The 6th Environmental Rock event took place on Saturday 26th April 2008. We had another enjoyable and very successful day with plenty of sunshine, and over 600 guests joining us to talk to stall holders, gain some free goodies, take part in the activities and listen to a great selection of local bands. We were pleased to welcome the Mayor of Southampton too. If you were one of those 600 we've got a facebook page http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=13280010676 so please add your photos, and share your comments on the day with us. Alternatively, please feel free to email us at: environmental-rock@hotmail.co.uk |

During the day there were plenty of activities to take part in from
making your own bird feeder, to tasting organic and fair-trade wines and
chocolate, and even decorating your own canvas shopping bag. Samhaim Morris were on excellent form again this year with plenty of dancing and singing to brighten up the day even more. 'Green' drinks (organic and fairtrade) were available behind the bar, and gained guests a ticket into our prize draw if they bought one. Prizes included items kindly donated from stallholders and other companies (see our website page for details). James Gray was the lucky winner of our mountain bike (see left!) Only one prize was unclaimed on the day - if you are Denis Selby, congratulations, you've won a prize, but you didn't leave any contact details. Please email us to let us know how to get your prize to you!! |

This year guests were asked to add
their environmental pledges to the board which will become a permanent
fixture at the Hobbit. Pledges included: not leaving the computer on when not
in use, to always wash clothes at 30 degrees C, to try and fix items that are
broken and one brave guest even pledged to
attend Southampton's Naked Bike Ride in June! |
