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 […]

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 […]

Today I went down to the Crawley CAB’s Annual General Meeting. Usually I cannot make it as it is held on a Friday lunchtime, but I happen to have a couple of days off this week and could therefore attend – now that I am standing down as a trustee. This year’s annual report has […]

Busy Week

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 […]

Tonight I went to a board meeting of the Crawley CAB – the last one before the AGM. I was going to make it my last meeting, but I think I might hang on a little bit. I was appointed there by the borough council to represent them, but I wrote to the Chief Executive […]

Downpours

Well… it looks like I was lucky to get my lawns mowed over the Easter weekend, as it has been pissing down ever since. I was in two minds, as it was still a little bit boggy on Monday, but decided to go for it in the end, and just as well: its now marshland […]
Charity

On Saturday I spent a couple of hours in the town centre collecting money for the Citizens Advice Bureau. People were not exactly queueing up to put money in the tins. It had crossed my mind that the CAB would make more if I just gave them the money I spent on the bus fare […]

Portfolio

I had an email from the chair of the Citizens Advice Bureau the other day. She was worried that at a recent meeting about how to celebrate its 50th anniversary I might have though she was impinging on my fundraising portfolio. I have to admit that I didn’t feel anyone was muscling in on my […]

No – not my new TV which arrives in 4 days (but who’s counting?). I was watching the news on TV tonight and there were two reports from spots within 100 yards of my office. The first was Tony Blair on the roof of the building right behind ours – a company which does solar […]
