A black-and-white film about turning food waste into animal feed! Produced by John Page Productions and partly filmed at the Wolsey Works which was in Carpenters Road, Stratford. The original narration was lost but we might sing to fill in the time.
One Got Fat: Bicycle Safety – Interlude Films

A group of children, all wearing ape masks, rides their bicycles to the park for a picnic. Along the way, all but one are eliminated for violating basic bike safety rules. This strange film was narrated by Edward Everett Horton.
Green Sundays Bike Tour
The Hackney Cyclist LCC will be leading you on a bike journey from Canary Wharf to Hackney along the Regents Canal, stopping off to point out interesting landmarks and maybe some duck spotting. The programme will continue at the Arcola. We can’t be responsible for any injuries and any under 18’s must be accompanied by an adult.
No need to reserve your place, just be at Museum of London Docklands for 1530 on the day.
Recycling
And if you have a raft of DVD’s and VHS tapes sitting at home that need to be re-born, bring them to us! Viridor London-Recycling will be setting up camp just in front of the Museum of London Docklands and will gladly be taking these off your hands to give them a new life in a sustainable way.
