Everyone is welcome to come along to our Halloween event which will take place by the bandstand from 2pm to 4pm on Sunday 30th October 2011.
We’ll have an African drumming workshop on the bandstand when Henri Gaobi will invite people to come up onto the bandstand and drum from 2pm. And at 3.15pm we’ll be judging a fancy dress competition, with prizes to win for the best costumes by under 5s, under 12s and all other ages. We welcome any donations of spooky cakes to the café. Here is a selection of our various on-going activities and news of meetings where you can get involved in the planning of future activities;-

The family cook and eat, food heroes and retired people’s lunch club are all funded by the Big Lottery Fund’s Local Food scheme. Help us plan the future of the café, food projects, gardening in the greenhouse and events at three meetings to be held in the next couple of weeks:
Thursday 20th October: Food group meeting in the depot meeting room Monday 31st October: Events committee meeting Wednesday 2nd November: Growing and greenhouse project meeting These groups are led by members of Myatt’s Fields Park Project, and everyone is welcome to attend and give us your ideas. The first sleepover in Myatt's was a great success, with around 100
people sleeping in the park overnight. Territorial Army cadets and officers helped people put up their tents, and then patrolled the park overnight. Two local policemen also turned up to camp overnight (on their weekend off), and joined the TA in their patrols. A fire workshop by Rob from Wild Nature included learning how to build a fire and creating a flame from scratch, and then Rob built two fires (one in a quiet zone and one near the music) for everyone to enjoy in a giant drum. Henri Gaobi and his African drumming troupe Kaago burst into life as the fire was lit around 7pm and were accompanied by an acrobat who amazed on-lookers with his amazing feats. Katherine Toy and Nick then performed gipsy music until 9am, when people were left to enjoy a massive fire until bedtime at 10am. A free breakfast was served to everyone, and together with beautiful weather and a warm sense of community spirit meant the event was warmly praised by all who took part. Quotes include: "It was a chance in a lifetime for my children" and "I've been waiting to do this since the 60s". We certainly hope to do it again next year, and give a huge thank you to the Territorial Army, the police and all the campers and volunteers who braved the first night under canvas in Myatt's Fields Park! Thanks also to Lambeth's Festival Fund which made it all possible. |
