Neighbourhood Network Get Together (light refreshments will be provided)Thursday September 26th 2013 – 7 – 8.30 p.m. At Ravenstone Primary School, Ravenstone Street, BalhamCome along to this event to find out how you can make a real impact in your local community. Volunteers are needed to help on projects such as:
Many of you will be familiar with the excellent work that The Furzedown Project has been doing since 1975, helping prevent social isolation among elderly people. Thier centre is based on Moyser Rd in Furzedown, from where they offer a wide range of services to the local elderly community.
This is the 2nd Bellevue Road Summer Fair, building on last year's successful event. There will be lots family activities, as well as food, drink and music.One of the highlights of the day will be the Mayhew Dog Show, with multiple categories judged by local celebrities! The Mayhew Animal Home has been established since 1886, providing welfare to negelcted animals, so is a very worthy charity for us to be supporting at this year's fair.We hope to see you there.
The latest outing of the Tooting Voluntary Force will be to help expand a stretch of the Wandle Trail in Earlsfield. The project will be run by Sustrans, who are responsible for maintaining the UK's National Cycle Networks. The Wandle Trail is one of the shorter routes in the network, running from Croydon to Wandsworth Town, but is highly valued by the local community as a quiet place for a riverside wander.
Friends of St George's are organising a table top sale in the Consultants Car Park just outide the main hospital entrance. All funds raised will go towards their charitable funds to be spent on good causes at the hospital. So do come along to peruse the wares on offer and raise some money for the Friends while you're at it! If you'd like to join me in manning a stall on the day, please email me on dan@danwatkins.org.uk. *** PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED AND WIL BE RESCHEDULED AT A LATER DATE***
This wil be our first meeting after the Council's decision on the Community Asset listing for the Wheatsheaf. So it should be an interesting session and a good chance to plan the next stage of our camapign to protect the pub. We'll be in the back room of the pub, so hopefully see you then.
We want to make the most of our temporary reprieve from Enterprise Pubs. So we are meeting to agree more of the detail of our long-term strategy to save the Wheatsheaf. If you want to attend, or would just like an update on progress, please email me on danwatkins100@gmail.com.
