Come to Cafe Kai in George St. for a meal, social interaction and a talk about Water by local environmentalist Ashley Bland.
 Click HERE for more details.

The next Cafe Chew (August) will be devoted entirely to the subject of water.

It is a hot topic locally and will be nationally too with the Murray Darling Water Management Plan due in the next few weeks and the interest groups are lining up to stake their claims.

I have attached a couple of documents to help those who are interested become better informed so that our discussion can be more fruitful.

Hi All, just found a neat little smartphone app that puts at your fingertips a truck load of climate data and responses to those skeptical questions:http://itunes.com/apps/skepticalscience This is the iPhone app but there are other versions for android and nokia phones also works on ipads. Search on the web for as "skeptical science app" Cheers James

BCCAN guests at the July Cafe Chew - Friday 23rd of July at Cafe Kai.

 I am back in Dawson City, sitting on my verandah overlooking the Yukon River.  Let me say right off, the Yukon River is a real river not like those muddy trickles that pass for rivers in Australia.  More water would go by my verandah in an average hour than goes down the Macquarie in a month - or two.  But the Yukon River is not looking good.  It's low, very low.

Join in our monthly Cafe Chew at Cafe Kai in George St, Bathurst . $20 per head for a great meal and lively discussion.
This month our topic of discussion will be the science of climate change and sceptical views about it. Guest speaker will be Dr. Andrew Rawson - Department of Environment and Climate Change, NSW Government and lecturer at Charles Sturt University.
RSVP: by 22nd June, pforman@csu.edu.au or 0429 941 339.
