Groundswell Rising: book your place

Groundswell Rising is an inspiring documentary which shows how many communities have suffered and try to fight back against the fracking and unconventional oil and gas industry in America.

The film is being screened, and followed by discussion, in North Edinburgh Arts this coming Friday from 7pm-9.30.

The event is free and will include input from Dr Richard Dixon, Friends of the Earth Scotland, and Prof Andrew Waterson, Professor of Public Health from Stirling University.

Craigroyston High School’s Josh Hardwick did the honours and kicked off an evening of music, food and fun that seemed to get everyone in the festive mood!

So many people to thank:

Craigroyston Community High School for sharing their wonderful musical talents – the band and the choir were superb.
Local schools Oaklands, Rowanfield, Pirniehall, St David’s, Forthview and Craigroyston for creating the beautiful snowflakes that now adorn the centre
Fleurtations for delivering, erecting and decoration the tree
Urban Union for supplying the Christmas tree
The City of Edinburgh Council for their support and advice throughout
Weber Shandwick for getting things done
North Edinburgh Arts staff for their wonderful support: particularly John for his technical wizardry, Michelle and her team for the fabulous food (and wonderful winter punch!) and for sharing her artistic skills to make the shopping centre look great
Local police for supervising the event
The Tomorrow’s People team for all their hard work in decorating the Centre and making the event such a success.
Santa for … well, just being Santa!
And finally, the children and families of North Edinburgh who came out on such a horrible night to support the event. Comments have been overwhelmingly positive – maybe we’ll try another event in the New Year?
