STOP STANSTED EXPANSION'S COMMUNITY CALENDAR 2007 IS LAUNCHED
The 2007 Community Calendar produced in aid of Stop Stansted Expansion is
now on sale at 30 shops and thousands of doorsteps across the region
courtesy of an army of 50 volunteer sellers.
Now in its fifth year, the Community Calendar has become an established part
of life for many people in the parts of Essex and Hertfordshire that
surround Stansted Airport. It features photos of this attractive area,
selected from work submitted by a growing number of local photographers.
This year, 13 new locations are featured on the calendar's pages, each
displaying three lovely, high quality photographs: These include:
|
Cover: | Horham Hall, on the border of Thaxted and Broxted
| |
January: | Burton End
| |
February: | Matching and Matching Green
| |
March: | Horham Hall
| |
April: | Ugley and Ugley Green
| |
May: | Ashdon and Church End
| |
June: | Littlebury
| |
July: | Little Dunmow
| |
August: | High Roding and Aythorpe Roding
| |
September: | Standon
| |
October: | Brent Pelham
| |
November: | Birchanger
| |
December: | Lindsell
| |
January 08: | Gestingthorpe (the first month of the New Year is included to
help with the transition to the following year's Community Calendar)
|
Priced just £6, the full colour, A3 calendar provides a powerful daily
reminder of the communities, countryside and heritage threatened by
expansion plans for the airport.
Last year, the combined proceeds from the
Community Calendar and Christmas Card sales contributed £30,000 to SSE's
fighting fund.
The Calendars can also be ordered by post for UK and overseas mailing at a
small extra charge to cover postage and packing. For further information,
details of sales points and online order forms see

PICTURE CAPTIONS
The 2007 Stop Stansted Expansion (SSE) Community Calendar was launched in
Market Square, Saffron Walden this Saturday by five of the 50 a handful of
the many volunteers who will be responsible for their sale across the region's doorsteps.
They have vowed to keep producing and selling the Community Calendar – now
in its fifth year – for as long as it takes to defeat BAA's plans for
massive expansion at Stansted Airport.
