Mid month update, The Drive in update, Whats on, news about the new gardening hub, Quiz night with a social distancing community meal and how Oak trees need your help from Oak Processionary Moth Caterpillars.
How important community hubs are to a park’s wellbeing?
LATE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
The Friends had delivered our new Gardening hub (it’s really a very large container) This will be used by our volunteers to build on the existing wonderful work they are already doing At Harrow Weald Recreraton Ground (aka Boxtree Park) and also speed up bringing other exciting plans to fruition
< 2m apart > 2m apart> 2m apart> 2m > We are now actively looking for more volunteers to join us
< 2m apart > 2m apart> 2m apart> 2m > Come at meet us at our next Super Sunday 2nd August 2020
Last email we shared some special offers from Alba luggage a west end company that after 50 years is closing down.
Some people asked Alba Luggage (NEW deals click here) what the association with The Friends is?
The Friends have several projects ongoing and Alba has always been supportive of our work, so being part of our own community hub, we are helping them sell some products, coz we are friends.
Applying that old London adage fair exchange is no robbery - The donations from the sales we made in the last email helped pay towards the already low price of moving the container.
The Gardening unit was only made easy because several organisations came together to help
A Massive Thank You To:
The Shaw trust for the container (https://www.shaw-trust.org.uk/en-GB/News/Blog/February-2020/Giving-and-volunteering)
Walton Freight Services https://www.wartonfreight.co.uk/ - Wonderful, helpful and proactive people
Alba Luggage (https://www.albaluggage.com/) for providing products to sell which helped pay for the cost of moving the container

WATER IS THE SOURCE OF LIFE

HELP AND HEALTH! |

When you order a drink in a pub or wine at a restaurant, we all choose, which wine, which drink! How many times have you been in a restaurant or pub, ordered water and asked about which water they provide, other than sparkling, flat or tap? If you do not eat you body will last up to 3 weeks If you do not drink water your body might last just 3 / 4 days On average our body is 60% water, the planet we live on is made up of about 72% water. Not all water is equal One of our community hub supporters has supplied with what we believe is one of the greatest non plastic great designed water bottles we have ever used. (cheapest prices on the internet again) DRINKING WATER IS IMPORTANT, THESE BOTTLES KEEP YOU WATER FRESH AND COLD (WE ADD ICE CUBES) |
