Hi everyone – please come to this fascinating film at Bentham Town Hall today (Wed 3rd Feb) at 7pm
Click link below for full details:
Please also note the new “Bentham Lift-Share scheme” page:
This has been set up to help people in Bentham and the surrounding area to offer and receive lifts.
It uses a Google Groups mailing list. You can join the list here:
https://groups.google.com/d/forum/benthamls
If you would like a lift, or to offer one, you send an email to the group using the address
benthamls@googlegroups.com (the address will only work for group members).
The message will automatically go to all other members of the group, who can then offer or accept.
Coffee, Cake, conversation and….Bumblebees!!
Just a reminder that this month we are encouraging people to go to the Friends of Bowland event tonight, Thursday, at Looking Well, for your Green Cafe fix. Tania St Pierre will be talking about a Buzz in the Meadows bumblebees, wildflowers, pollination from 7.30 – 9.00pm. This is at Looking Well Studios, King St. High Bentham.
Hope to see you all there 🙂

B.E.S.T. was awarded a “most original” certificate a hand made ornament of a robin (made by Sue Halsall) and a fantastic hand knitted rosette by CARnival Bentham for Collette Austin’s carnival damselfly which was made entirely from re-used waste, (e.g. plastic bottles, tin foil, plastic bags etc.). Sorry for the delay in posting this up – it was a case of getting round to taking the photo!
Also B.E.S.T. Green Cafe at 8pm Looking Well Studios tomorrow night (Wednesday). Click the following link for more details: 2015 Local Plan

Give and Take in Bentham 14th March 2015
What a satisfying day!
Thanks everyone for all your help – so many of us so willing that none of it felt like a chore, I think.
So much came in, so much went out. So many people happy!
At the end we had collected about £90 which I think nearly covers costs. Sue Ryder took a couple of boxes of knick knacks; Edward collected not very many books; a couple of cars went via Low Bentham for the next Institute fundraiser.
Linda and I took the rest over to Settle – and a good bit of that went to Age UK (for future ref, they loved the big ring files) so really very little ended up in the dump.
And a special bonus – on the way back we picked up a hitch hiker – who turned out to be the benighted cyclist who had cycled home on Bobs bike and was now on his way back to Bentham to repair and collect his own!
So well done us, and thanks for all your cheerful work,
Annie Neligan
Hi everyone – March is a very exciting month for BEST and also for all Bentham folk with unwanted stuff cluttering up their house/garage/shed and also for people who like taking away free stuff and stopping it going to landfill!
Yes folks, it’s Give & Take time again! Please click the link below to download a poster with all the information. Tell all your friends and neighbours too:
And if that’s not enough excitement for you, the Tuesday immediately after the Give & Take weekend is our next Green Cafe with Coffee/Tea & CAKE plus a very interesting topic all about Hay Meadows. Click the link below to download the poster with all the information:
Hi we’ve another lovely BEST meeting at the Looking Well Studios, King St. High Bentham at 7.30pm.
Collette Austin will be showing you how to use our WordPress blog so that you can add your own stuff whenever you find something you think will be interesting to the group. We’re going to be upstairs on the 1st floor where apparently the internet connection is better.
Do not be alarmed it is very easy and there is no pressure on anyone who doesn’t want to have a go.
