Tea and cake with The Geezers – our stall at the Old Ford, Bow Festival

Local history sleuthing is hungry work... so busy was our tea and cake stall at the Old Ford, Bow Festival that after the first day, our kitchens were a whirl of activity to restock for the second!

A community festival organised by our very own Carolyn Clark, author of Tales from Old Ford and Bow and staged by local club The Geezers, the Old Ford, Bow Festival featured The Geezers' history and photography project, games, music, art workshops, pearly kings and queens and a warm welcome.

It was a joy to be part of it. A big East End WI thank you to Carolyn and The Geezers for inviting us. Thanks to all of our members who baked and helped. A special thank you to Clare for coordinating and looking after us all, and to Natasha for technology wrangling.
