It seems like the local kids have sunk to a new low. This evening somebody broke into the community centre through the fire exit of the main hall. They trashed the kitched, pulling the doors of a locked kitchen cupboard belonging to a pre-school group. Then they broke locks and bolts on doors to get […]

Town Hall
September 30th, 2004 · Comments Off on Town Hall · Politics
I was at the Town Hall this evening, and it was a strange experience. Normally there is a point in the first normal meeting of the Council year where they put aside a few minutes to make a small presentation to ex-councillors who have resigned, retired or lost their seat. This year is different because […]

Party night
September 25th, 2004 · Comments Off on Party night · Life
I popped into the community centre this evening to pick up some paperwork I needed for the grant application. While I was there I met the new Premises Officer, who was there getting the place ready for a wedding reception in one of the halls. I also saw a chap I recognised there and went […]

More meetings…
September 23rd, 2004 · Comments Off on More meetings… · Politics
Tonight was the local ward Labour party’s meeting, which usually ends up with the older members reminiscing all over the place and 15 minutes of business taking 90 minutes to get through. We had some good ideas for some local campaigns to help us build up a relationship with the 80% of the population here […]

Jobs again
September 22nd, 2004 · Comments Off on Jobs again · Work
A new job has been created at work, where they have spotted a gap in the organisation (and, dare I say, recognised that they may have made a mistake when they removed my old job last year?) I have been asked if I want to be seconded to do it for a while to get […]
Who needs PayPal anyway?

The day after I gave up with PayPal, the website I wanted to donate to in the first place started taking credit cards. So it all worked out in the end… Still with money, I had a meeting today at the Vicarage in Southgate to discuss the finances of the Broadfield community centre, and work […]
More football

I’ve just been looking at Football365.com to check tonight’s results. Really just to see if Charlton managed to get at least a point and put Man Utd in the 2nd half of the league table… which they did. While there I was having a look at the statistics for Crawley Town. Apparently our unbeaten home […]
Meetings bloody meetings
September 6th, 2004 · Comments Off on Meetings bloody meetings · Life, Politics
The title, of course, refers to a training film made by John Cleese’s company Video Arts. They were great training films, and I notice on their website that they are still selling them, so obviously nobody has come up with anything better in the last 11 years. Some time ago, when I was living in […]

Missed opportunities
September 5th, 2004 · Comments Off on Missed opportunities · Music
Missed opportunity 1: I think there was a reunion in Essex for my old school. Since its more than 25 years since I left school it would have been fun catching up with everything. Mind you, J always gets paranoid that I will cop off with an old schoolfriend, and with the stories in the […]
Bloody weddings
August 29th, 2004 · Comments Off on Bloody weddings · Life
There was a wedding reception at our local community centre today. Very nice for the family concerned I am sure, but not much fun for mine. Our local centre is an independant charity, managed by a cross-section of local people on behalf of the churches who own it. Jayne chairs the committee which manages it […]
