Coming up in March

East end places on foot, East end lives on film, East End skills in Stratford – coming up in March

Our monthly walk: an episcopal journey – Saturday 9th March, 11.00 am, meet at Limehouse DLR

After the bonus tour of St John’s on last month’s walk, it will be a double this month: we'll meet at Limehouse DLR and stroll along to St Anne’s Limehouse then round to St Dunstan’s. There's lots of interesting history at both and along the way.

Then on for a coffee at Stepney City Farm.

Check out the EEWI walkers' WhatsApp for who else to look out for on the day. 

Our monthly talk: Our lives in Film, Derek Smith – Thursday 21st March, 7pm for 7.30pm start, at St Margaret's House, 15 Old Ford Rd, London E2 9PL

Derek Smith is a local film maker. He is creating a new project so we will have the benefit of finding out what it is all about. He will share some of his experiences in the detective work of researching working class communities.

Brush up your ideas and memories about the boroughs we live in – they could be in the next production!

Please note the new arrangements for access to St Margaret's House: The new code will be available for our regular members via our member whatsapp group - if you attend regularly and haven’t had an invite to the group yet please contact us vis our email. If you are not a member of EEWI our 'white bell' will be on the wall, so ring and someone will come to let you in. Sometimes this lets us down, so you can always ring one of the committee if other means of access fail!

If you are coming for the first time, contact us at EEWI via our email to check on access so we can make sure you are able to get access smoothly.

Our monthly coffee morning: change of venue... Friday 29th March – meet between 10.30am and 11am at Jim & Tonic at the Print House, 133 High Street, Stratford, E15 2RB

This is just along the road from our original venue for this month's coffee morning, the Mary Ward Centre, and set back from the road, facing the canal. For those who fancy a walk after their coffee, it's an easy stroll along the canal to Three Mills Green.
