There will be a local meeting/film night with Q & A of the Dorset Positive Money branch at Christchurch Library, Christchurch High Street on the 16th January 2014 from 7pm -9pm. This meeting of Dorset Positive Money will have short films with Q & A and talk on Positive Money UK. This night will be a great introduction explaining the simplicity of what we are campaigning for. This is a free event and a non profit organization.
