New Shell Theatre Mural
The historic, Shell Theatre in Lordship Rec is having a fantastic makeover. Members of our community are helping to bring to life the stunning design of internationally renowned Tottenham artist, Camille Walala. The new look Shell is going to be the stage for many performance and music events throughout the Summer, starting with Blocko 22 on Saturday 25th June 12 noon and hopefully it will become a popular venue as it once was decades ago when it was a focal point for community activity.

Conservation Action Plan for Lordship Rec, 2022-2027
Over the last year the Friends have been working with The Conservation Volunteers and the Council’s Nature Conservation Officer, supported by the Parks Service, to produce a new 5-year Conservation Action Plan. The idea is to manage and improve biodiversity – and public appreciation of this biodiversity – throughout the Rec. Its based mainly on the work of the Friends and our various working groups over the last 15 years. See link below!

SPECIAL FILM SHOW at the Hub on Friday 24th June, 6.30pm. Did you know? In the 1990s, before the Friends of Lordship Rec was set up, our very own Chair (Dave) and former Lordship Rec gardener (Helen) took on McDonald’s – the global junk food corporation – in what became the longest and one of the most controversial trials in English legal history, backed by a successful global mass defiance campaign? This month (June) will be the 25th anniversary of the ‘McLibel’ verdict. The whole incredible story was captured in an award-winning 90min documentary shown on BBC and around the world: ‘McLibel’. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLibel_(film) Dave and Helen will be attending this special showing to answer questions etc. The room is likely to be full so if you want to attend please book free seats from Joan: joanhcurtis51@gmail.com
