Great Millish Bake Off

Hi Adrian,

I’m holding a fund raising event for the Mill in Walthamstow. It used to be a library but when it closed down was taken over as a Community centre and is mainly volunteer run. It’s very active with loads going on for every age, nationality and ability. Of course, it always needs money so I’ve volunteered to help.

The event is called the “Great MILLish Bakeoff” and involves lots of cake related things. You don’t need to make a cake but it you feel so inclined there’s a competition judged by local bakers. Otherwise just come and eat some.

There are also lots of games and children would have a great time. There’s a ‘decorate your own cupcake activity’, a cake drawing competition, tombola, raffle and much more.

I’d love it if you could come and bring people with you. Better still if you could volunteer to help for an hour or two.

I attach a poster if you could put it somewhere, a map and handouts. 

Thanks so much.     Jean

Hello

You may have seen that our next public meeting at William Morris Big Local is coming up.

We’re now just a week away and I wanted to get in touch to remind you about it and see if you can come!

Time, Date, Place: 7.00pm – 9.00pm, Tuesday 9th May, William Morris Community Centre, 6-8 Greenleaf Road, E17 6QQ

http://wmbiglocal.org/wmbl-social-forum-9th-may/

The aim of our event is to bring as many local people, organisations and groups together so that we can help strengthen ties in the area and to share with you the latest developments of the WMBL project. On the night we will be hearing from some of our currently funded groups with a drumming presentation from Woven Air and a dance performance from Move17. We will also be launching the second round of our Community Chest grants, with advice, guidance and application forms available on the night.

To cap things off we’ll have a friendly social with some lovely food and refreshments and the chance to meet one another and speak face to face with the people involved in Big Local.

A poster is attached for the event, I’d really appreciate it if you can help spread the word and would love to see you there!

Kind regards

Shops and Shopping Around St James Street - Saturday 13th May 

If you missed Waltham Forest Oral History Workshop’s exhibition at The Mill Community Centre there is still a chance to see (and hear!) it at Vestry House Museum on Saturday 13 May, for one day only. The exhibition tracks the development of Walthamstow’s first shopping centre over more than a century through historical photographs and documents from the archives at Vestry House, brought to life by extracts from the recorded memories of more than 40 local shoppers, shopkeepers and stallholders aged from 9 to 93. 

At 2.30pm Robert Wilkinson will give an illustrated talk on the history of the area. Robert will also be leading a free history walk around the St James Street area on Sunday 28 May, starting at the corner of St James Street and the High Street at 2.30pm. WFOHW’s oral history project is part of Waltham Forest Council’s St James Street Townscape Heritage Regeneration Project, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. Contact Alice Mackay on ajemackay@outlook.com or 07985 962975.

Remains of plaza

Wait until residents see the new blocks growing up beside Northwood Tower blocking their light and satellite dishes. How did this get through the planning process?

What a waste of public money - the Wood Street Plaza and playground were barely finished, at vast expense, and now it is all ripped up. This council really does know how to create jobs!
