Bristol Avon Rivers Trust - Yellow Fish
2023-07-22 10:00 - 14:00 | Riverside Drive, Monkton Park, Riverside Drive, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN15 3NU, United Kingdom
Only rain down the drain!
Did you know that surface road drains lead directly into your local watercourse? This means that anything other than rain poured down the drain, such as litter, car oils, detergents, weed killers or wastewater can harm river health and its wildlife!
Bristol Avon River Trust (BART) are running an exciting Yellow Fish Campaign in the local area to help raise awareness of the impacts of human activity on water quality in the Bristol Avon. We are hosting a series of Yellowfish events with the local community, which involves putting up posters to spread the message and painting yellow fish next to surface drains to remind the public that what enters the drain, flows directly into the nearby river or stream.
Volunteers will use stencils and chalk-based yellow spray paint to mark a yellow fish shape (a great family friendly activity!)
Bristol Avon Rivers Trust: is a charity which delivers education, land and river management advice and practical river restoration work throughout the Bristol Avon catchment. BART is working in partnership with Wessex Water through the Community Connectors project (https://www.wessexwater.co.uk/visit-and-learn/community-connectors). Together, we aim to re-connect the community with our river and to benefit local people and wildlife.

Wiltshire Rural Music are proud to present our 2022 Liz Laurence Award Winner GABRIEL LONGBOTHAM on Saturday 29th July at The Cause, Chippenham.
“An evening of beautiful, soulful music showcasing Devizes’ finest young talent – the incredible Gabriel Longbotham”
Gabriel is a 19 year old pianist, organist and songwriter from Devizes. He attended St Augustine’s School in Trowbridge and is currently studying music at Royal Northern College in Manchester. He won our Liz Lawrence Award last April after wowing the judges with his talent on piano.
As a Wiltshire based charity, WRM aims to provide young people with access to music without the barrier of cost. Gabriel received bursaries from WRM to assist him in his musical studies, and, as a result of support from this scheme, he achieved his Grade 8.
The Liz Laurence Award consists of a £1,000 prize which was presented by the Mayor of Devizes, but also the chance to perform a one off hometown gig with the charity’s help. It is our pleasure to present Gabriel for an evening of music curated by him for one night only.
You can watch the interview on his win here.
