Outdoor film showing?

By imogene russell on 20 Feb 2015 11:20 am Would people like an outdoor film showing in the Play Street?  It would have to be on a date and time when it’s dark enough early enough, but on the other hand not too cold. On Saturday May 9th sunset is predicted to be at 20.34. The film could start half an hour later. There’d be no noise from the film, because we could all have our own wireless headphones. Or we could have a silent film. There’d be a tiny amount of noise from the eight or ten bicycles providing the power. We’d need volunteers to take turns on the bicycles. And we’d bring our own chairs. If so, what film? Not too long. Suitable for any children who might be there.

St Mark’s is inviting us all to send notices of what’s going on locally to  stmarksgreenwich@gmail.com  by Friday for posting on Saturday. Tony will post them on the Community Page of the website at  www.stmarksgreenwich.org.uk and also display the page on one of the church’s four ‘‘good old-fashioned physical notice boards” outside. The premises at St Mark’s were redesigned several decades ago to make it easy for outside groups to use them, and many have done so ever since. This notice board, dedicated to the community...

By david scales on 09 Feb 2015 08:41 pm We have been notified by the Millenium Quay Neighbourhood Watch Scheme that there’s been a spate of Vauxhall Zafiras being broken into in the Greenwich area. Apparently the small back triangle windows are being smashed in order to open the back door.
