Next week we also have a podcast radio tester session in the small hall !

Hello All,


Sadly I've just received news from the artist this morning that she is very poorly today and cannot make it in to run the art and craft lesson .

This is of course very disappointing ,more so as it's my first day and I did not put plans in place in case of illnesses.

I was focussed on meeting/greeting/advertising and dishing out teas and biscuits thus the short notice means I do not have the time or materials to do an alternative art lesson today .


This unfortunately means that there is NO Art and Craft Session today but as an apology the drop in session will be completely *free* . So do come and have a cup of tea/coffee/juice and biscuits on me and meet other families whilst the children have free play in the hall and outside in the playground .


I will of course ensure that next week there is a Plan B to ensure lessons will still go ahead regardless and we also have our drop in radio podcast session .


Once again , I'm sorry and just as disappointed as you are but please do come along today .



Next week the Art and Craft lesson will run as planned with the same theme.


Best wishes.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
