What do you get when you combine summer weather, good food, and a bunch of AYCC volunteers? Why, Bollywood dancing of course! 
After the excitement of the year that was 2009, it was high time for our hard-working volunteers to kick back and relax, and last Sunday that’s exactly what our Melbournians did. At the AYCC Victoria Summer Picnic there were no petitions to sign, no data to enter, and no votes to cast – just good company, spectacular banana bread, and the sounds of Bhangra and Bollywood beats in Melbourne’s beautiful Fitzroy Gardens.
Of course it wouldn’t really be an AYCC event without dancing. And dancing there was. Our attempt at Bollywood dancing was amusing, if not entirely convincing – but a lot of fun, as always.
2010 promises to be an even more productive and exciting year for the AYCC. But while things might get busy, it’s always worth making time to get together to eat cake, bask in the sunshine, and have some fun. And don’t forget your dancing shoes!
Join hundreds of other people in a fun, peaceful and effective action against Australia’s single biggest contribution to climate change.
Horseshoe Beach, Newcastle: Sunday March 28, 10am onwards
What’s happening
Hundreds of people will peacefully occupy Newcastle Harbour, and prevent the passage of coal ships. This will be the fifth action of its kind in Newcastle. No one has ever been arrested. At the last, in March 2009, we successfully stopped all ship movements in the harbour for the day.
There’ll be plenty happening on the shore too, so please come along and show your support even if you can’t get out on the water. Good food will be available by donation.
There’ll be a ceremony of home made rafts! Check out the funky floating masterpieces, and enter your own creation!
Unpacking Copenhagen: What happened, what it means, and where we’re headed
Sydney: Wednesday, February 24 2010, 9-11am
Did the huge volume of media coming out of Copenhagen this week overwhelm you and turn you off? Are you unsure what the final outcomes will ultimately mean? Are you wanting to plan your personal and organisational work for 2010 around the international negotiations but are unsure where the most effective pressure points lie?
To assist you and to build a stronger civil society response post-Copenhagen, the Climate Action Network Australia (CANA) is holding a follow-up public event on February 24 2010 that will feature presentations from CANA member organisations that are currently in Copenhagen.
