GetUp has initiated this day of action for people all over the country to express to government the depth of their concern over climate change.

The last month was the hottest on record.
The last summer was the hottest on record.
The last 12 months were the hottest on record.
This year? Summer has come early with devastating bushfires.

We are aiming for a FUN meeting but with an underlying message of concern about the likely changes for this region, the problems and opportunities; how it affects you.

• Venue: Central Park, Armidale
• 1:00pm: Meeting starts, BBQ food available or bring your own lunch.

This is a family day – everybody is welcome. This is also an opportunity for lots of community stalls on any related topic.

Wear something bright! Red and Orange Clothes, Signs, Banners, Facepaint, Fun Hats, Umbrellas and other things to make it a joyful event – e.g. jugglers and clowns welcome. We hope to have lots of kids’ activities plus competitions for the best dressed, the best hat, the best parasol, the best facepaint and so on.
To give us an idea of numbers please register at GetUp!
