Get fit, relax, get arty, get funny: Bank hol / half term activities around Stirchley

Here’s a link to our latest enewsletter: http://eepurl.com/zZPy9Green Revolutions enewsletter

Green Revolutions starting up soon in Stirchley – we have our first car!

For when you want to transport your family, or your shopping, or for longer trips, Green Revolutions have a car for you! We welcome families, so you can move your children – and their stuff – without hassle or expense. We can even provide baby/child seats.
Our first car is a Volkswagen Passat Estate, “Katie”, with plenty of space inside and an efficient Start-Stop engine.
Katie will cost about £5 per hour (works out at 8.5p per minute). You will be able to book her in advance and you won’t have to go looking for her. You’ll be able to keep your car with you for the return journey! If it makes things easier, we can drop her off at your home.
Watch this space for details of how and when you can start driving with a Green conscience.  http://www.green-revolutions.org
