==Early announcement: The Big Lunch, June 5th, in a garden near you==
 +
The Big Lunch is a very simple idea from the Eden Project. The aim is to get as many people as possible across the whole of the UK to have lunch with their neighbours in a simple act of community, friendship and fun. This year it’s happening on Sunday 5th June and a record number of people are expected to take part - why not be one of them?
 +
 +
A Big Lunch can be anything from a few neighbours getting together in the garden or on the street, to a full blown party with food, music and decoration that quite literally stops the traffic.
 +
 +
Since starting in 2009, thousands of Big Lunches have taken place in all kinds of communities across the UK and the best part of a million people get involved each year.

==Receive a Shiatsu treatment in exchange for a donation to the people of Japan==
 +
A group of professional Shiatsu practitioners is offering up to 100
 +
treatment sessions in May in exchange for donations towards the Japan
 +
Earthquake and Tsunami Appeal.
 +
 +
Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing Japanese bodywork therapy, which is closely
 +
allied to Acupuncture but instead of needles we use our hands. The
 +
treatment is given fully clothed on a comfortable futon mattress on the
 +
floor or a massage table.
 +
 +
Shiatsu is designed to stimulate and support the body’s own natural healing
 +
process, aiding relaxation, maintaining good health and boosting vitality.
 +
 +
This is a great opportunity to get a taste of what Shiatsu can do for you
 +
as well as helping a good cause. The taster sessions will last for 30
 +
minutes and will include a personal consultation. To make a booking, just
 +
call the Shiatsu Centre on 01603 632555.
 +
 +
The Japanese Red Cross is providing first aid and emergency healthcare, and
 +
distributing relief to those in the areas hardest hit by the tragic
 +
disasters suffered by the people of Japan over the last few weeks. All
 +
donations received will go directly to the Red Cross.
 +
 +
Shakura Meddings, a coordinator of Japan Month May 2011, says:
 +
 +
“Families in Japan have all been affected and will continue to feel the
 +
effects for generations - our hearts go out to their unimaginable suffering
 +
and we felt compelled to take action. With Shiatsu having its roots in
 +
Japan we’re donating these treatments as an act of gratitude as well as a
 +
gesture of support.”
