FOMP AGM & General Meeting 25th Jan 2014

So much is happening at the moment that I forgot to post this: 
Friends of Mayow Park AGM this coming Saturday 25th January 2014, 1pm - 1.30pm
The agenda will include a review of the past year and election of FOMP officers.
This will be immediately followed by a General Meeting which should include reports from Lewisham Greenscene and Glendale.
Both the AGM and General Meetings will be held at the bowls club.
 Agendas to follow.

We heard some good news last week from Lewisham officers.

The continuing wet weather adds some uncertainty, but the Council should have finished what it has to do on the pavilion by end March, so toilets will flush and other basic services will be working. From then on the fitting out and timing will depend on the operator chosen.

So I'm still going for the first cappuccino to be frothed sometime this year, but in the meantime, here's how it was looking this morning:
