The Sun Shines as the Fantastic Home Visits Keyworth Show

Despite a poor forecast the weather was glorious until five minutes from the end of the show and the people of Keyworth seemed determined to make the best of the day and enjoy their show. MEA’s volunteer Diane, Sheila and Jenny from Rushcliffe Borough Council, and Tim Baldwin of MEA were kept busy for most of the day. There was a great deal of interest in the WATT Bike with both parents and children battling to see who could generate enough to power their favorite gadgets for the longest.

 

There were several referrals for loft and cavity wall insulation and lots of interesting conversations about renewable technologies, especially about a switch that has been developed that allows a solar PV array to charge up the immersion heater in the home once there is enough sunlight. There was also a lot of interest in the government’s new Green Deal scheme and what it might provide for householders.

 

All in all a great day out!
