Dave at 81 is our resident journalist now btw - pick up a copy of the latest
Walthamstow Echo for his really good article on the street party - maybe they
can liaise? For info, the grumpy resident who said there'll never be any
interest in a street party was ... come to the meeting to find out 😀

Hi
We did get some funding sorted so she doesn't have to worry about that. I
am sure people will be happy for her to write something if it inspires
others to try to organise something similar in their area - remember, we
started this before there was any form of council funding.
Why not invite her to the next meeting? Thursday 8.30 out on the green - if
thames water haven't dug it up....

Hi all
Sorry for not being involved in meetings this year; its all sounding fab.
Happy to contribute a bin and should be able to volunteer do an hour slot
on the bar (either me or Martin) at about 4.
The new editor of the Waltham Forest News is someone called Laura that
lives on Rensburg Road. I got chatting to her today (we've both recently
started working at the council) and she'd like to do a piece on the party
and it's 10th anniversary for the WFN but was wary there could be
anti-council feeling due to the party not getting any funding this year.
What do you think?
Nicky

*** NEXT - AND FINAL - MEETING -- 8.30PM THURSDAY 12TH ON THE GREEN ***
Present: Bob, Clifford, David G, Ian, Jen, Jo, Rob (at the start),
Thibaut, Roy.
1. Hay bales being bought. No use for them afterwards. Offered to Rob
for his allotments after we've finished with them.
2. Gazebos - final one being ordered. Old ones will also be used (2
left?). Chester road have asked if they can borrow a couple of our old
ones this weekend for their party.
3. Timbers for the old marquee will no longer be needed so will be put
out for people to take after the party weekend.
4. Bar - Jo will be acting as overall boss and adopting a 'Bet Lynch'
management approach, so no messing about folks :-)
5. Bar Rota - please put down your name for a rota slot or two on the
day - we need to make sure there are always 2 people behind the bar and
no-one we don't all know should be there, just in case there's any funny
business. No kids also. John will be bar manager most of the time but
will be busy with the birthday party 2.30 - 4.30pm so we need to make
sure there's cover then.
6. Bar shopping list - sorted. typed and emailed to clifford and Jo.
7. Bar bins - needed for drinks storage - borrowing Bob's plus
CLifford's got some, Ian and Jo have old kitchen bins we can also use.
8. Bake off - usual judge might not be available - David, Thibaut and
now Jeff volunteered to act as stand-in judging team if necessary. Still
bring out creations at 3pm. Debbie and Dave organising cups, awards
etc. Best garden - David (G) needs to check on progress of this with the
mystery judges ....
9. Bins. Can we bring out some of our bins to make an area for --
recycling (glass, cans), composting (food, compostable plates etc),
general waste (black bins).
10. Using the event to raise awareness / sort out local issues. Debated
the pros/cons of a producing a petition for local councillors about
traffic calming needed for the road versus using the latest TFL 'liveble
neighbourhoods' 'consultation process' done via the web using their
usual PR/data processing 'consultancy firms' etc - agreed we can do
both. Will put up a 'board' on the day for people to have a general
whinge on.
11. Looks like we might have a mystery band playing a short set during
the afternoon - watch this space and be present at the birth of a new
cultural phenomenum, maybe. Byt they have to do a backdrop and help
decorate in the morning.
11. Next meeting - Clifford wants to get one gazebo up on thursday next
week so he can start working on the bar etc - so we thought might as
well meet under it thursday night.
that's it!
