After delivering our Labour newsletters today, we all went off to church as a family (all except Frankie who was at work). Now we are not a religious family. Personally I am not even a bit spiritual, but I suspect that is my loss, and I feel a bit jealous of those who do have […]

Broadfield Forum
September 28th, 2005 · Comments Off on Broadfield Forum · Politics
This evening I went to a meeting of what is called the Broadfield Forum. This is supposed to be a meeting of concerned/involved/engaged residents of the area, hosted by the borough council and with other parties invited if either there is something they want from the residents or there is something the residents want from […]
At the fete
August 6th, 2005 · Comments Off on At the fete · Life
There were a couple of new attractions at the Broadfield fete this year. One welcome addition was a food stall set up by the Patels, selling samosas and pakoras. I’m not so sure about the appearance of a bucking bronco though. Everyone seemed to enjoy it, but flying off the thing didn’t do my already […]

Broadfield Fete
August 5th, 2005 · Comments Off on Broadfield Fete · Technology
Just a reminder to any Broadfield/Crawley readers that tomorrow afternoon sees the highlight of Broadfield’s social calendar – the summer fete at the community centre. Unfortunately we couldn’t solicit any donations suitable for an auction, so I won’t have to do that. I’m relegated to just reading out the raffle numbers. I blame Al Qaeda […]

Broadfield Fete
July 19th, 2005 · Comments Off on Broadfield Fete · Life
I discovered one of the disadvantages of not being involved in the community centre any more – you end up with even more jobs! Jayne is still on the management committee and went to a planning meeting about the fete the other day. I think she spent most of the time volunteering me for stuff. […]

Meltdown
June 18th, 2005 · Comments Off on Meltdown · Music
I went out tonight after work, to see one of the shows in this year’s Meltdown festival at the Royal festival Hall which is conveniently located so close to where I work that I could see it clearly if a) Waterloo Station was not in the way b) We had any windows This year’s Meltdown […]

Busy Week
June 3rd, 2005 · Comments Off on Busy Week · Politics
This has been a really busy week for extra-curricular activities. When I lost my seat on the council I was looking forward to a quiet life, spending the evenings with my books, computer, and music, except when going out to see bands, but just lately it has not been working out that way. Its true […]

No more accounts
May 17th, 2005 · Comments Off on No more accounts · Life
Today was my last duty as Treasurer of the community centre. It was the public meeting where those few interested members of the public come along and vote in a new general council, so I had to present the accounts for the last financial year. I have had the various printouts and bank statements around […]

Updates
April 23rd, 2005 · Comments Off on Updates · Music
A couple of follow-ups to old entries: I have now put photographs of Tony Blair’s visit on the BYCC website along with a bit of commentary. The BBC have been back to the centre this week. The World at One team were interviewing people here about the visit for a programme to be broadcast next […]
Film clip
April 16th, 2005 · Comments Off on Film clip · Life, Politics
The Labour Party web site has a film clip of Tony Blair’s visit to Broadfield on it. Not too bad… Jayne can be seen in the background and Marie (centre manager) and Mick (Karate teacher) both get a soundbite in. I spent this morning out canvassing in Broadfield for the elections, and a lot of […]
