After looking forward to the Croydon World Party for months now, I realised yesterday that it clashes with the Broadfield community centre fete – the highlight of Broadfield’s social calendar as any fule no. Also it clashes with Crawley Town’s friendly against Milwall – and how often do you see “Millwall” and “friendly” in the […]

Public meeting about antisocial behaviour
July 4th, 2006 · Comments Off on Public meeting about antisocial behaviour · Politics
Tonight there was a partially successful public meeting in the Broadfield community centre about antisocial behaviour – it all depends on how you define success. Obviously the wider problems of antisocial behaviour were not solved, and no individual problems were solved, so if anyone had turned up expecting a magic wand to be waved they […]

There is a meeting of the Broadfield Forum at the community center on Monday July 3rd at 7pm and the theme of the meeting is anti-social behaviour.

Broadfield Community Centre – catch it while you can
June 6th, 2006 · Comments Off on Broadfield Community Centre – catch it while you can · Politics
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing at the AGM of the community centre a couple of weeks ago. There was some good news that the centre had attracted a corporate booking where some company had hired the whole place for a day for a significant fee. Having been a reluctant treasurer for the place […]

Broadfield on the telly again
May 3rd, 2006 · Comments Off on Broadfield on the telly again · Politics
I was watching the local news on the BBC this evening and there was our community centre again. This time it was film of a meeting where Geoff Hoon and Eugene Sully were talking to youngsters (and listening too I hope) about why they (the young people. Not Geoff & Eugene. Duh.) are so uninterested […]

Public spirit

Another story Jayne brought back from the community centre was much more heart-warming. A lady moved to Broadfield from another town some time ago. She had been worried because Broadfield does have a bit of a reputation, but having been led to expect something like Moss Side she found that the place is actually not […]

Britain’s worst criminal?
March 31st, 2006 · Comments Off on Britain’s worst criminal? · Life
Jayne was in the community centre today and heard a great story about a recent crime there. A lady had left her handbag lying around and someone had gone through it and taken some car keys from it. A few days later the car was stolen and abandoned. Meanwhile a boy had been hanging around […]

We had a bit of a delay this morning. The Labour party had booked the church hall at Broadfield, but had to wait outside as the previous hirers were over-running. The previous hirers were a Quranic class. In the Christian church hall. I think its a great example of how well we all get along […]
Campaigning in earnest
March 25th, 2006 · Comments Off on Campaigning in earnest · Politics
We had a great campaigning event today. There must have been 30 people at the community centre in Broadfield. We sent a couple of groups out to Ifield and Southgate, but sent even more out in Broadfield. A few members from other towns which do not have elections came along as well, and its always […]

2 grand better off
December 11th, 2005 · Comments Off on 2 grand better off · Life
Last night Jayne went to a dinner at the Gatwick Manor for a charity awards event. It was the culmination of a campaign run by one of the local papers (The Crawley Observer) and a local employer (Barclaycard). Over the weeks they have been publishing stories about local charities and then inviting readers to vote […]
