Events for Armed Forces Day

The chosen location of the 2010 Armed Forces Day is Cardiff: a city with a strong military history that houses the 3rd Battalion of the Royal Welsh at Maindy Barracks.

A week of celebrations commences on 21st June, with a flag raising ceremony at the Castle and includes the arrival of a Royal Navy Warship at Roath Basin on the 25th.

The main event on June 26th centres on the Cardiff Bay Area, with a National Armed Forces Day Parade forming up at Cardiff Castle, prior to a service at Drumhead.

Further details and programme of events taking place can be found on the website at www.armedforcesday.org.uk

The First Armed Forces Day

The Armed Forces Day event was inaugurated in 2009, and marked concerns about a “growing gulf between the Army and the nation” expressed by General Sir Richard Dannatt, former head of the army.

Celebrations in 2009 centred on the Chatham Historic Dockyard – previously a Royal Navy Base – and were attended by the Prime Minister Gordon Brown and his wife Sara, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, and head of the Armed Forces Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup and Defence Minister Kevan Jones.

Held in gloriously sunny weather, the day proved to be a resounding success that helped to promote a better understanding of, and respect for, the armed forces.

Exciting flypasts of historic aircraft including the Red Arrows, Hurricanes, Spitfires and Lancasters took place.

Royal Navy ships were opened to visitors, and military displays were joined by those of the RNLI and Fire and Rescue Services.

At more than 200 events that took place in other parts of the country, members of the armed services wore their uniform with pride, from Eastbourne to Manchester and up to the Scottish Highlands where the public was able to take part in practical demonstrations and fundraising or watch displays, parades and marching bands.

Veteran’s Day

Armed Forces Day was instituted to replace Veteran’s Day, observed since 2006.

The date of 27th June was chosen as the day after the anniversary of the first investiture ceremony for the Victoria Cross by Queen Victoria, held in Hyde Park on 26th June 1857.

A special flag based on the Union Jack was designed by the government for the occasion which is organised by councils and businesses.

Armed Forces Day Worldwide

Armed Forces Day has been celebrated in many nations for some years to honour their respective military forces on varying dates.

In Australia and New Zealand for example, ANZAC Day held on April 25th commemorates 1915 when Australian and New Zealand forces fought against the Turkish at Gallipoli.

In Brazil, Dia do Soldado (Soldier’s Day) is celebrated on August 25th: the birthday of the war hero Luis Alvés de Lima e Silva.

In China, Army day is celebrated on August 1st: the anniversary of the founding of the People’s Liberation Army in 1927.

Russia holds a Defender of the Fatherland Day on February 23rd.

In the US, Armed Forces Day was created in 1949 as a result of the unification of the military services and is held on the third Saturday in May, although separate observance of Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coastguard Days still continues.

Armed Forces Day – 26th June 2010

Armed Forces Day was set up to honour the outstanding contribution made by the men and women who currently serve in the Armed Forces, as well as the veterans who did so in the past.

It also offers an opportunity for civilians to meet with local members of the military forces and learn more about their work.

For the many people who would like to show their appreciation for the brave men and women who serve their country all the year round, there’s a great opportunity to do so via Twitter or Facebook pages, see the links below.

Kerbside Enthusiasm

The good news is that nowadays nine out of every ten houses has kerbside collection: residual household waste has decreased by 22% since 2000/01, equivalent to an average of 16kg per person per year across England as a result of campaigns like Recycle Now.

Slightly worse news is that although 73% of packaging produced in the UK can be recycled, only 33% actually is – surely some room for improvement there.

But what actually happens to all our carefully sorted rubbish when it leaves the house?

If you’ve ever plaintively opined the question “why?” when rinsing out cans of cat food at the kitchen sink, the Recycle Now website can provide you with some of the answers.

Waste and Resources and Action

Now in its fifth year, the campaign is run by WRAP (Waste and Resources Action Programme): a not-for-profit company supported by funding from DEFRA and the DTI, in partnership with the administrations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The week is supported by local authorities, schools and businesses, when hundreds of events take place across the UK highlighting the importance of recycling, as well as informing and raising awareness of the benefits to the community.

Recycle Now Week – 21st June to 28th June 2010

If you want to know the answers to those pressing questions about recycling such as…

What items can be recycled?
When is Compost Awareness Week?
What is the Mobius Loop?
What is the point in recycling anyway?

…then look no further!

For these are all things that can be learnt during Recycle Now Week that runs from 21st to 28th June: an annual event held to “kick start new habits that can help us all want to recycle more”.

If you want to find out what’s happening in your area, help take part or organise some of the activities, enter your post code on the Event Finder on the Recycle Now website.

While you’re on the website, it’s a great place to pick up some recycling tips and information about recycling symbols (Oh, so that’s what a Mobius Loop is!), how to reduce packaging, and cool eco products.

If simply knowing which bin to put out on which day of the week confuses you (and it does me!) – all is revealed with such infectious zeal that you’ll be motivated and enthused to “find out something new, do something new or generally do more of what you already do”.

Plastic Beach

Our discarded household items are being turned into commodities that are valued across the world.

Once the rubbish leaves the kerb, it’s taken to a Materials Recovery Site where all the different types of material are sorted by hand or machine, and sent to manufacturers who then transform it into brand new products so we can buy them again – adds a new meaning to materialism doesn’t it?

Millions of tonnes of material are recycled every year, with the result that all newspapers in the UK are made from recycled paper and over 80% of glass is used to make new bottles and jars.

Recyclables like plastic waste garner high prices in countries such as China, where there are not so many natural resources: there’s also the added advantage that carbon emissions are minimised, energy is reduced, and materials are not being landfilled.

Stray Toasters

The theme for this year’s Recycle Now week focuses on old electrical items: you know, those things we’ve all got hidden away at the back of cupboards, or shoved in drawers – that Walkman that was state-of-the-art back in the 80s, or the 1970s ghetto blaster you just can’t bear to throw away because you saved up for it for months!

Basically anything with a plug, a battery, that needs charging or holds a crossed out wheelie bin logo – kids’ toys, broken kettles or toasters -  can all be dropped off at the local recycling centre where their valuable components of plastics, metals (including gold, silver and copper) can be recycled and turned into new electrical items.

And when you hear that last year 173 million electrical items were sold, as well as 27 million mobile phones, not to recycle waste seems like such… a waste!

If you have tried and love Salsa, Bachata, Merengue or Ballroom etc, then come and try and fall in love with Kizomba which is fast growing in popularity in the UK.

815pm Fun Beginners lesson Latin Dance with Tom & Kwai (Clan Cuban)
9:00pm Kizomba Lesson with Rob Lewis & Rachel Blundred (EsSensual Latin Dance)
10pm till 1am Dancing, Party with Kizomba Show at 11pm

The Last Supper
by Reckless Sleepers

Reckless Sleepers invite you to dinner, to sample the last meal requests of the famous and the not-so famous.

You’re asked to eat and drink while they speak, then eat the last words of the famous, the infamous, of criminals, victims, heroes, heroines and stars.

With real scenarios, invented scenarios, scenarios in the future, scenarios from the past, The Last Supper is part performance, part meal, made up of half-remembered words and the forgotten last requests of inmates on death row.

Each audience member is given a table number, their case number, their incident number.

Thirteen of these are last suppers.

“There is something about the simplicity of this show that is unbearably moving.” Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
