'Flourish or Flounder' debate on Monday

by isleofman.com 10th July 2010

Wide-ranging views on the hot topic of climate change are expected at a public debate in Castletown on Monday night.

The event at Castle Rushen High School is called 'Flourish or Flounder' - and is likely to spark an exchange of views on how the Isle of Man could develop renewable sources of energy.

An expert on wave and tidal power from the UK Chris Bale will join a panel made up of ministers Phil Gawne and John Shimmin, along with MEA Chairman Quintin Gill and environmental campaigner Ffinlo Costain.

And before the debate, there's a chance to visit stalls set up by local groups and businesses, keen to tell the public what they're doing.

The debate's been organised by teacher James Nolan:

Doors open at 6.45 pm with the debate due to begin at 7.30pm.
