A Walthamstow wander, our AGM, women's football and coffee in the garden
Our monthly walk: Saturday 9th May
Meet 11.00 at Walthamstow Central
We'll be following the arts and crafts walk from the Waltham Forest Wanders booklet – download here or print details from the website. Beginning at Walthamstow Central we'll aim for The William Morris Gallery in Lloyd Park, on the way taking in art, design and architecture stops including street art on Hoe Street and God’s Own Junkyard, the famous home of neon. There's plenty of choice of cafés for a refreshment break.
Our AGM and monthly meeting: Thursday 21st May
7pm for 7.30
At our usual venue: St Margaret’s House, 21 Old Ford Road, London E2 9PL, entrance via the gate to the left. (If you’re joining us for the first time, feel free to email us and someone will meet you at the entrance on Old Ford Road.)
A round up of the year and vote for the committee and President, followed by our very own Natasha’s presentation on women’s football. Natasha follows Arsenal Women’s Football Club and even travels abroad to see some of their games. She has introduced some of us to women’s matches and to football itself.
