Next Saturday 10 May, Mike Berners-Lee will be coming to the Action on Climate Emergency, Settle (ACE) meeting held in our St John's Methodist church hall, BD24 9JH to lead a discussion on his latest book - "A Climate of Truth"

Meet at 10 for coffee ready for the talk and discussion at 10.30am

I took some photos of two of his books in our church garden.

It is a good weather forecast for Saturday so why not have your cup of tea/coffee in the garden?
