Lordship Rec Community Festival (Sept 11th) Launch Meeting – you are invited!!

Monday 15th February, 6.30pm – 7.30pm

At Broadwater Centre, 1 Adams Rd, N17 (by the BWF entrance to the park)

The Lordship Rec Community Festival is on this year again – by popular demand! (See report of last year’s highly successful event – below).

The festival is organised collectively by the organisations involved in the LRUF, and by all those involved in putting on activities there. Its a huge challenge for all of us, and we can only pull it off again if loads of people help out from the very beginning.

Can everyone who wants to help make this year’s event a success please come along to the launch meeting.

We need to discuss:

  • activities we want to see happen
  • funding
  • co-ordination
  • publicity

To all: thanks, and best wishes for 2010

To all those who care about Lordship Rec.

Lordship Rec Community Festival 2009This is an all-too-brief thank you to all those involved with the Lordship Rec Users Forum and to all the groups who care about our fantastic green space in the heart of Tottenham.

Over the last 12 months there has been an enormous amount of work and energy, commitment and enthusiasm, communication and co-operation, care and concern in developing and reviewing the proposals, plans, activities, meetings and consultation regarding the future of the Rec.

All of that individual and collective effort should be appreciated, whether its from residents and park users putting in their own time and resources, staff and officers working above and beyond the call of duty, or groups and organisations keeping their members informed and engaged throughout the numerous phases of this vital and in many ways unique community-led regeneration project.
