Art in Pasley Park

Aged between 8 and 17 and fancy something to do on Monday afternoons/evenings? A new programme of mosaic making, outdoor art and planting is kicking off in Pasley Park - from 5 - 7, every Monday (meeting at the Pasley TRA Hall, Stopford Rd). See the flyer below for more details!

Picnic in Pasley Park

Local resident Alison, who lives on Carter Street, is organising a picnic in Pasley Park - so that the community can get to know each other better. There will be lots of activities for the kids (including face painting and balloon animals) - all you need to do is bring a dish!

The picnic will be held in the park itself (or in Pasley TRA Hall on Stopford Rd if wet) on Saturday 2nd April, from 12.00 until 2.00 pm.

If you would like to attend, please contact Alison on locallunch@yahoo.co.uk.

Heritage consultation

The main stage of the consultation around heritage signage is now completed - thanks to all who attended! In particular, there was a fantastic turn out to the TRA meeting/consultation session on Tuesday 1st.



Themes emerging from the consultation have been collated together in a short report. See the heritage signage website for more details, and stay tuned for next steps.

New consultation dates

There are even more opportunities to learn about the history of your area over the course of the next month, with the announcement of the next set of consultation dates for the heritage signage boards in Pasley Park.

Drop in sessions will be conducted at the Cuming Museum on both Saturday 15th and Saturday 22nd January providing opportunities to ask questions, see original materials and input into the design and content of the signage itself. In addition, the first TRA meeting of the year will become a dedicated consultation session to starting, as normal, at 7.30 pm on Tuesday 1st February in St Paul's, Lorrimore Square.

Learn about the history of our area

As many of you will know our TRA (in conjunction with Southwark Council and the Friends of Pasley Park) recently obtained a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund to provide heritage signage, explaining the history of the area.

The Project Team responsible for developing the signage are very keen that the boards reflect what local people find interesting about the rich history of the area. To that end, there will be a series of consultation sessions providing opportunities to learn about the history as well as to input into the design of the boards.

The first of these consultation sessions will be held on Saturday 11th December, at 11 am, in Pasley Park itself - and will take the form of a guided walk about the area. For more information, e-mail: pasleyparkhistory@gmail.com

Annual Picnic in the Park

Many thanks to all of you who came to the Annual TRA Picnic in the Park at the beginning of July! First year ever that we had no rain (almost...), which certainly seemed to help with turnout as the park was full of people. Once again the bouncy castle was a big hit, whilst the food and drink disappeared as quickly as it arrived.




The picnic was also the official 'launch' of the new artwork in Lorrimore Gardens - provided courtesy of the children at John Ruskin School, under the supervision of Sue. Hopefully you all agree that it looks fantastic, and has brightened up that corner of the park no end. If you missed this quarter's copy of Southwark Housing News, there is a piece in the magazine on the project. You can download it here (see the July version).



Hope you enjoyed the picnic - see you next year!

Kennington Village Fete - 2010

Kennington Village Fete will be taking place, once again, in Cleaver Square (or St Anselm's Church if wet) on Sunday, 13th June from 12.30 - 4.00 pm.

It looks to be a packed programme, with plenty to do, buy and eat. Fingers crossed for good weather!

Annual Picnic in the Park

As many of you who have been here for a while will know, the TRA runs a Picnic in the Park every July.

It's always a great evening, with free food, drink - and entertainment for the kids (including a bouncy castle, plus cricket and football).

This year's picnic will be held from 6.00 pm on Tuesday, 6th July in Lorrimore Gardens - the park in Lorrimore Square.

Hope to see you there!
