The Big Lunch: 5th June

Here is another item from the February edition of CT News.  The Big Lunch is a 'wild seed' of the Eden Project, who appear to be breeding dinosaurs in Cornwall.

The Big Lunch is back with a bang! This years' event is taking place on Sunday 5th June so now's the time to start planning. Go to the 2011 Big Lunch website today so that you can be the first to register your event and get a handy Organiser's Pack in the post. The packs will give you everything that you need to start planning your event, from invites and recipe ideas to badges and balloons.

If you intend to hold a big event with over 50 people and you'd like to apply for some funding to help make it possible, the Big Lottery Fund Awards for All scheme could be just what you need. Small grants are given out throughout the year to help people make a difference to their community.

There are certain requirements that you have to meet in order to apply - you must be a community or not for profit group, a Parish or Town Council, a Health body or a school - and to get funding in time for your Big Lunch, you need to get your application in soon. It would be a good activity for a Churches Together group or LEP.
