Just to remind everyone it is this Saturday. My weather app says no rain.

We will have two stalls at Lark In The Park on Saturday.

Our young people will be selling the following items that they have upcycled/recycled in our workshops here: chest of drawers, small cupboard, rocking horse, motorcycle rocker, stool and bird feeders/houses.

We will also be offering our free `Dr Bike’ service, so please feel free to bring down your bike for a free health check.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday!

And, being one of the Perry Vale ward co-ordinating group, I’ve just volunteered to be on the information desk. Happy to make contact with anyone from the Forum.

Come and say hi to me on the Forest Hill Society stall and buy a lovely cake from Forest Hill WI next door.

Great to finally meet you @Michael, and also to have a good catch up with @TimLund, who introduced me to a few local movers and shakers. The Lark in the Park looked like a really good event, with a great community feel. Everyone seemed to know everyone, it was lovely.

But Tim, good grief, please stop introducing me to Labour Councillors as “Meet Chris - he’s a Conservative voter”

I was at the ‘Lark’ and had planned to stop and say hello, unfortunately child care duties prevented me from stopping - lest I be judged on the quality of my parenting. The FHS stall looked busy as I was being led past however.
