MYATT’S VOTED 10TH MOST LOVED PARK IN BRITAIN
Myatt’s has been declared as one of the top parks in Britain in the prestigious People’s Choice Award, which is organised by Keep Britain Tidy’s Green Flag Plus Partnership.
The annual national poll saw more than1,400 parks compete for the 'People's Choice' title, with Myatt's Fields Park coming in a fantastic 10th place. Victoria Park in Tower Hamlets took the top spot.
A huge thank you goes out from staff and volunteers at Myatt’s to everyone who voted for the park earlier this year and helped us into a top place!

CHRISTINGLE CAROL CONCERT AND CHRISTMAS MARKET
Everyone is invited to attend our annual Christmas market and Christingle carol concert on Sunday 16th December 2012.
Local craftspeople will be selling gifts and home made items from 2pm to 4pm on the bandstand, and the candle lit carol concert will start at 5pm.
Children will be given Christingles (an orange decorated with ribbon, sweets and a candle) to hold from 4.30pm onwards and mulled wine will be on sale from 4pm to 6pm.
The singing will be accompanied by Southwark Wind Orchestra and singers from St John the Divine church. We are very grateful to all musicians from the groups, which have accompanied our carols for the past two years.
The event is funded by the Minet Conservation Association and organised by Myatt’s Fields Park Project in partnership with London Borough of Lambeth.
If you would like to book a stall for the market (one table and a chair) please fill in the form attached to this email. It costs £10 for an adult or £5 for a child’s stall, and you will be provided with a table and chair. Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
We would appreciate help setting up and clearing away for the event, and also stewarding during the evening. All volunteers will be given mince pies and mulled wine (or juice) in the depot between 4pm and 5pm to stop them freezing in the time between the market and the carol concert!

We’ll be making Italian food including smoked mackerel, mozzarella and peas quiche with orange blossom custard on Saturday 24th November as part of our Food Heroes programme.
The sessions are open to everyone – come along and help cook, or just turn up and eat at noon if you want to. You don’t need to be an expert cook, we design the sessions so people can just roll up their sleeves and help with chopping, stirring and eating!
We pay food heroes £40 to teach other people about the food they know and love. No experience is needed and you will be supported by our food manager Fiorella Fronzi during the session. If you are interested in becoming a food hero please contact Fiorella Fronzi by email .
