Yes - it's barbecue time! Our annual barbecue this year will have the theme of 'bubbles'. Thanks to Rose for suggesting this.
Come along for five minutes or five hours. Meet the neighbours. Our barbecues are good fun and very friendly affairs. More details nearer the time.
ADDISCOMBE CARNIVAL
Sunday 25 July 2010
Pat and Derek of the Croydon Lions boldly went and revived the Addiscombe Carnival after 30 or so years since the last. Their mission - to seek local people and encourage community spirit especially encouraging young people. It was a great day. As it was so successful, Pat and Derek will be organising an Addiscombe Carnival 2010 on Sunday 25 July. If you would like to become involved in some way: deliver fliers, be a steward for a couple of hours, have a stall, demonstrate a sport, dance, sing or take part in the carnival procession, please let Anne know.

Big thanks to all who helped in other ways, especially Sharon for the
delicious and imaginative birthday cake (see pic) and Linda for her excellent
raffle ticket selling skills.

Many thanks to the 60 or more people who attended our barbecue. Special thanks to our expert barbecuists, Tony, Anne and others, and to our inimitable rafflers, Richard and Linda. Thanks too to Steve Collins (the other SC of Addiscombe) and his Black Cat Brewery for some great locally brewed beer.
As chance would have it, we did not need our big blue tent and gazebos as the weather was fine.
