Camp Titnore - Second Birthday - 24 May 2008

TITNORE Woods supporters took over the steps of Worthing Town Hall for an hour or so yesterday (Saturday May 24) in a good-natured celebration of Camp Titnore's second anniversary. Alongside the usual placards and banners were party hats and home-made birthday cakes, as supporters posed for press photos, gave three cheers to the eco-activists who have been protecting our countryside since May 2006 and gave a rendition of 'Happy Birthday to You', as between six and nine police watched on at a distance. There was even a spot of tree climbing. Less cheerful news was that Tesco's plans for its massive expansion on the West Durrington site have now been given outline planning permission by Worthing Borough Council.

A BIG date in the calendar for the battle to save Titnore Woods is fast approaching. On Saturday May 24, supporters will gather on the steps of Worthing Town Hall, at 2pm, for a party to celebrate the second birthday of Camp Titnore, the eco-protest camp at West Durrington. The campaign has, of course, being going a lot more than two years, but the extraordinary achievement of those who have kept alive a continued presence in the woods since May 2006 just cannot be over-emphasised. Not every one is able to get down to the camp to express their support, so this event in the town centre is a great opportunity to show the protesters you are with them in spirit. In line with the party theme, you are invited to wear and bring party stuff - hats, balloons, whatever you fancy. And it is hoped to have a musical element as well - so if you know anyone who can play and bring instruments along on the day, please encourage them to do so. Media are being invited to the event and it would be great to have a decent turn-out, so please forward this message on to other people - let's make a real effort to celebrate in style and communicate our ongoing determination to see off this threat to Worthing's environmental heritage!
