Events
Charlton House
Greenwich Society Summer Picnic
This is to take place at lunchtime on Sunday 27th May and will be co-hosted with the Friends of Charlton House. The event will be held in the gardens of Charlton House and music will be provided by the Crystal Place Brass Band. There will be no charge, and the herbaceous garden and thePeaceGarden at Charlton House are places well worth visiting and largely unknown to those who do not live in the immediate vicinity. The music will take place between 12.30 and 2.30. Parking is available in the streets around Charlton House, and it is hoped that there will be a good turn-out from members of the Society. Refreshments will be on offer but the main object is for families to have an enjoyable and ( hopefully!) sunny picnic in a place where there is ample room for kids to run around.
St Alfege
Summer Fete
The St Alfege Restoration Appeal Committee is arranging a traditional summer fete in the gardens of Ann Broadbent’s house at 14 Crooms Hill on the afternoon of Saturday June 23rd. There will be games, entertainments, teas and numerous stalls. Generous support for the event has been given by Grant Saw. Contributions to the stalls are vital to provide a good display. Could all members of the Society dust down their attics and look in their gardens for surplus plants, and then make contact with the following stall organisers with their contributions. Home produce; Theresa Craig, 0208-692-5593, Theresa@thecraigs.eu; plants, Sue Yates, 0208-692-1760, sueyates@ntlworld.com; clothes, adults and children, Jane Custance Baker, 0208-692-9677, jane@gingold.com; books, Tim Barnes 0208-858-1185, tim@ttbarnes.com; bottles, Ellie Mann 0208-691-1727 mannellie@hotmail.com; teddy bears, soft toys and ordinary toys Sarah Phipps 07974-7650, sarhjphipps@btinternet.com; contribution to teas Sarah Lavery, sblavery@aol.com.
The amount reached by the Committee has now exceeded £150,000, including £30,000 from the recent dinner and auction of promises at The Trafalgar. The bid to the National Heritage Lottery Fund is being submitted in the next few weeks.
The Greenwich Society, through the Events sub-committee (which reports directly to the Executive Committee), organises functions and events throughout the year.
