NORCA and the Green Grocers would like to thank our funders and sponors for making GreenStock08 such a great event. For coverage on the event see here and here.

GreenStock08 is a climate change festival at Heigham Park, Norwich with music, art, food, drink and children's entertainment. Funding from The Lottery's Awards for All and Norwich City Council and sponsorship from Toyota Dingles, Anglia Printing Services, Adnams, Booja Booja and Cut your Carbon all made the event possible.

This year the Main Stage was sponsored by Cut your Carbon with music from: a local string quartet; Folk from Andrew Kircham and Misto; Brazilian music from Rabo de Foguete; Cuban music from Guateque; pop from Sargasso Trio and country fusion from The Vagaband. Local poets read in between the bands.

At 1pm we hosted the Climate Change Question with Councillors Andrew Little (Conservative, Leader of Norwich Conservatives); Brian Morrey (Labour, Deputy Leader of Norwich City Council); April Pond (Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Spokesperson for Broadland); Adrian Ramsey (Green Party candidate for Norwich South Constituency, Leader of the Greens at Norwich City Council)

Booja Booja sponsored the Children's marquee and The Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts offered a Childrens arts workshop between 2-5pm. There was also face painting; yoga; early years music, photography and theatre.

We also had skipping with Skip Hop, yoga and shiatsu in the Health Marquee and a speakers corner with Gardeners question time and Nutrition Q & A with Glenn Matten.

Most of us you just wanted to soak up the atmosphere and eat some organic and locally sourced food and drink some carbon neutral beer at the Food & Drink zone sponsored by Adnams.

Stalls included: City Car Club; Cut Your Carbon ; Norwich Friends of the Earth; Energy Saving Trust; Ecotricity; Norfolk Solar; and Recycle for Norwich;

We would also like to thank all our performers, workshop leaders, stallholders and staff for makeing the event come alive. Many thanks.
