We demand that St Martin-in-the-Fields reverse outrageous decision to cast out loyal musicians
For 30 years our orchestras and choirs have brought joy to thousands of people and raised millions of pounds to support the work of St Martin-in-the-Fields and the homeless. Now in the midst of a global pandemic with no consultation we have been informed by email, by the Director of Music at St Martin-in-the-Fields, that our concerts will end and that evening concerts will be mainly in-house. We have effectively been summarily dismissed.
We call on people of all faiths and none to support our appeal to senior management at St Martin's to immediately reverse this decision, which will cause severe hardship for hundreds of our musicians in numerous orchestras and choirs, who have served and supported St Martin's faithfully, building a concert series from virtually nothing over three decades, creating the commercially and artistically successful concert series we see today.
This abrupt and dismissive action is callous and un-Christian behaviour. It will reduce the viability of hundreds of our musicians' freelance work and put many professional orchestras out of business.

STOP WEELEY FIREWORKS! SAVE THE LIVESTOCK AND ANIMALS
We propose for the Weeley fireworks that will be held on The Weeley Car Boot Site, Colchester Road, Essex, CO16 9AD to be relocated. There are many concerns over the planned event at the weeley boot sale field , apparently we are to have a firework ‘EXTRAVAGANZA’Not just once but on 2 consecutive nights! Personally I love fire works but this is totally inappropriate and misplaced .Weeley boot sale field has adjoining farms and livestock housing and is in close proximity to residential housing ,

Delay the introduction of school uniform at Avanti Park School
As parents, we are asking Avanti Trust to delay the introduction of school uniform until September 2021 for the following reasons: 1. Avanti clearly stated, in writing in the curriculum review, to parents that they would not introduce uniform until Septemeber 2021. There has been no parent consultation over this early introduction. 2. We are in the middle of a global pandemic. Many schools have held off on uniforms as they have insisted on clean clothes every day. It is much harder to keep unif

Securing the long-term future of Latin and of the CSEL at the University of Salzburg
(Deutsche Version unten) The Rectorate of the University of Salzburg plans not to fill the only existing full professorship for Latin at the Department of Classical Studies following the retirement of the current position holder. This does not mean that the Latin program would be discontinued. Nevertheless, there are solid arguments for preserving the professorship: Only a strong Latin department with research-oriented teaching – for which a full professorship is essential – will be able to insp
