Myatt's Fields Park annual general meeting
Sunday 8th October 3pm - 5pm by the Little Cat Cafe - free cake! The park is thriving thanks to all the people that support it - but it still faces an uncertain future. Find out how you can support your park - the ways include becoming a trustee, becoming an advisor, becoming an occasional helper with everything from litter picking to putting up posters. Discuss how to protect the park now and in the future; how do we raise income as the park budget is cut and how do we get everyone to take their rubbish home from the park! Everyone welcome. |
