Watch out for Sir Jeremy Wright, it would be great if he was able to come along too.\r\nWe will be out in force at the market on Thursday 12th November. There will be room in your shopping bag for the new, more compact, KAC, along with your veggies and cheese.\r\n\r\nMost importantly we have the valuable support of businesses in town where you can go to buy a calendar at anytime during the month.\r\n\r\nMany thanks to Kenilworth Books, the Treehouse Bookshop, The Kenilworth Centre, Fossato Lounge, and the Myton Hospice Shop.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/article>\n\t\t    \t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t\n\t<section class=\"cards-outer   signpost section\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    <header class=\"section-header container header-button\">\n\t\t\t        <div class=\"section-header-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"section-header-title\">How the community is supporting the KAC project<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"section-header-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/kenilworth-and-district\/how-the-community-is-supporting-the-kac-project\/\" class=\"button\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    <\/header>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cards\">\n\t\t\t\t\t    \t\t\t\t<article>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card no-image\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card-wrap-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<header class=\"card-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"card-header-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/kenilworth-and-district\/kenilworth-advent-calendar\/how-the-community-is-supporting-the-kac-project\/\" class=\"card-link\">How the Community is supporting the KAC<\/a><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/header>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/article>\n\t\t    \t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":88,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"758","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"page-themes":[],"topic":[],"class_list":["post-825","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/kenilworth-and-district\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/825","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/kenilworth-and-district\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/kenilworth-and-district\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/kenilworth-and-district\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/88"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/kenilworth-and-district\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=825"}],"version-history":[{"count":69,"href":"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/kenilworth-and-district\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/825\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1420,"href":"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/kenilworth-and-district\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/825\/revisions\/1420"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/kenilworth-and-district\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"page-themes","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/kenilworth-and-district\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/page-themes?post=825"},{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/kenilworth-and-district\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
