Bring on Summer Edition There’s lots happening over the summer in our immediate area. Here’s just a taster. Also opportunities to get involved locally in various ways.
Big Lunch – for everyone! Sunday 12 June 1.00 – 3.00 pm Forecourt of St Mary Magdalene - Indoors if it rains Everyone is very welcome to come and join with neighbours at our Big Lunch. We are arranging this with our neighbours at St Mary Magdalene who are kindly allowing us to use their forecourt. The church garden will be available for children to play; there’ll also be face painting by Fatima, races, singing for children by Barbara. It’ll be a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Feel free to come for all or part. Come on your own or with your family or a friend. Bring your own picnic lunch and, if you’d like, a little extra to share. If you bake, why not bring along some cup cakes on the theme of the Queen’s 90
th birthday for afternoon tea at the end of
lunch? There’ll be a best cup cake competition for under 13s. We will need help on the day. Please would you be able to help us to move tables and chairs both before and after the Big Lunch? Please contact Anne if you are able to do this. Alternatively just turn up from 12.00 to help set up. We need to update the photo on the Home page of our website which is now three years old. We’ll invite any willing Canning and Clyde Road residents to pose for a group photoshoot at some point during the Big Lunch. We look forward to seeing you! Expect a warm welcome.
Quiz Night for All We had a full house. Thanks to all who came along and helped make it such an enjoyable evening. We raised a grand total of £410.50 for Marie Curie Can-cer Care. Thank you too to the gentleman who won first prize in the raffle and generously donated his prize of a bottle of champagne back to us to either raf-fle again or auction to raise further money for good causes. Huge thanks to Barbara for all her work and to Nicky and Robert.

They will build at least four raised beds, a composting area, a community notice board and a bench over three days in June 2016. There are lots of ways to get involved, from building the garden, collecting materials, planting, or helping with refreshments, organising and marketing. The commitment is as little or as much as you want it to be. So if you would like to join in, comment on the designs or just find out more please get in touch, we would love to hear from you. They meet from 2pm on the 2nd Sunday of every month in the park or you can send them an email.

20mph speed limit on residential roads?
Croydon Council is currently holding the first stage of a 'consultation' on their proposed introduction of a 20 mph speed limit on residential roads in our ward (Addiscombe) and neighbouring wards in north-east Croydon. The Council has delivered a flier to every household in our two roads. You can find more information and an online questionnaire at www.croydon.gov.uk/20mph. The deadline for this first stage of 'consultation', which the Council is calling 'community engagement', ends on Friday 20 May 2016 for electronic responses and Monday 23 May 2016 for paper responses. The Council will then proceed to a 'statutory consultation' in July / August 2016 when residents have another opportunity to voice their opinions. For a variety of views on a potential 20 mph speed limit, Croydon Radio has a podcast at www.croydonradio.com/podcast/podcast.php?ID=370. It’s really important that everyone expresses their view – for or against, strong or not strong. In such situations there is a possibility that those who have the strongest views are the only ones who express them and the result is not necessarily representative of residents as a whole.
Campaign for a cleaner, greener and more beautiful Croydon This is a new, resident-led group. A Facebook page has recently been set up, it will be updated with all upcoming events. The campaign for a cleaner, greener and more beautiful Croydon will also have its own stall at Croydon’s Environmental Fair, Wandle Park, 11 June. For more information contact Charles Barber at [email protected]. We don’t have a contact phone number but, if you don’t have email and want to get in touch, let Anne know and she’ll email a message for you.
Volunteering in the community The Addiscombe Neighbourhood Care Association (ANCA) is a voluntary organisation providing practical help, advice, support and community activities to the people of Addiscombe and the immediate area. Please could you help local people with one of the following? * Drive clients to health appointments and collect them afterwards * Escort clients on the shopping buses * Help at social events and the Lunch Club * Befriend clients by regular visits to them in their homes * Offer practical "DIY" type help on an occasional basis * Help out in the office * Carry out light gardening * Assist clients with official "form-filling" and liaison with statutory authorities.

Quick Contact Group We are increasingly being sent information on events or consultations at short notice. Since we can only put out a limited number of newsletters, we have a Quick Contact Group. This is mainly by email but we do drop round paper copies for those without internet access. We avoid sending round too many emails. If you would like to be on our Quick Contact Group, please let Anne know.
