Ashburnham Triangle Association

Encore! Encore! Punters in the Ash on Thursday night had the rare treat of joining in with carols and Christmas songs played by Paul Barrett of Ashburnham Grove, affectionately known as Trombone Paul, and four friends, all professional musicians (I'm sorry, I've lost one behind his instrument). Publican Andy asked Paul and his friends to play. Thanks to all of them. It's not often that sort of thing happens. We were in luck. Bring on more.

Mick Delap, one-time ATA chair and planning rep, says: 'Our chip shop needs support. 'Chris Kanizi of the Golden Chippy has applied for retrospective planning approval for his sign, as pictured. 'Chris has been a highly valued contributor to the Triangle over the years. I agree with him that his sign does what all Conservation Area applications must do - it preserves and enhances the character of the Conservation Area, because: ·   it has historical precedence - see the photo below of a 1940 sign of the same size on the same site ·    it is very much in character with the established signs in the Greenwich High Road part of the Conservation Area  ·   it is very modestly lit, less bright than nearly all these nearby signs (with LEDs providing 1200 lumens per square metre) ·    its quirky and distinctive design is in tune with the identity Chris has successfully created for the Golden Chippy, as an integral part of today'...

There'll be singing in the streets this coming Monday. Warm up first with mulled wine, chestnuts and mince pies at the Ash from 6.15pm.  Set off about 6.30pm.  Come back to the pub when you like - we'll all be back by 8pm for food and quiz. 

Mary Parr writes: 'Don’t Look Now  starring Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland, directed by Nicolas Roeg  will be showing  on Thursday December 14th at 7.15 in West Greenwich Library.  There will be an introduction by Waldo Roeg, the nephew of the director, and a short discussion afterwards. All welcome. Free entry. Please join us for a glass of wine before the film. Suggested donation £2.'

Renato Cristofoli says: 'The Greenwich Adventist Church in Devonshire Drive will be hosting for the Ashburnham Triangle community on Sunday 17 December 2017 at 2:30pm. The Christmas season is an opportunity for us to share our gifts with the community, and the church is presenting a Christmas Carol singing extravaganza. A meal of Jamaican jerk chicken with salad and peas will also be served. Admission and meal are both free. All are welcome. RSVP to Renato on 07985 201861.'
