Sunday 4th May, 2pm Friends of Lordship Rec monthly open meeting for all park users@ Lordship Hub N17 6NU Come along to discuss latest news about the Rec, community events and volunteering to help maintain and improve the park, and how you may be able to get involved if you wish. Our March meeting report is below..
Our next scheduled working session, Saturday 19th April, falls on Easter Saturday, but we are still intending to go ahead with the session, meeting as usual at the outflow grille at the Broadwater Farm end at 10.00 am.
We reckon enough of us will not have other plans for Easter Saturday but it would be helpful to let John know as early as possible if you are intending to come along so we can plan the session ( johnmiles68@icloud.com). The tasks will be clearing out the outflow grille, litter picking and managing vegetation along the banks and water testing. As always, please wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, and good footwear.
If you haven’t come before, and want to just see what we get up too, then please do come along to say hello and have a look.
This year the Tottenham Flower and Produce Festival will be on Saturday 13th September.
If you would like to be part of planning this year’s festival you are invited to our first planning meeting at 4pm on Wednesday 23rd April at Lordship Hub.
