Community Gardens London

Unconventional Garden Training

Explore City's hidden gardens, 2 miles

* We will visit the City of London and 'discover' its hidden gardens. * We will start with the Christ Church Greyfriars where the ruins of a Wren church destroyed during the Blitz have been developed into a garden laid out to reflect the floor plan of the original church. * From there we will visit the Postman's Park, Saint Mary Aldermanbury Garden, Roman Fort Ruins, Guildhall Library, Guildhall (25mins break to see the Art Gallery and Roman Amphitheatre), Churchyard of St John Zachary, St Alphage Gardens (pictured) Barbican Water Gardens and Reflections Pond. * We will finish our walk at the newly reopened One New Change viewing platform opposite St Paul's. Optional lunch/drinks at the end of the walk. What to bring: Comfortable footwear Water Photo-taking gadgets and chargers An umbrella just in case (it's London after all) The walk is free for members who have subscribed for an annual membership. For other members the fee is £5 cash/card on arrival to contribute towards the organiser's meetup fees and costs. The annual pass option is £15 payable by cash or card on the day. This will provide access to at least 40 walks per year (members are welcome to bring a guest to each event). All walks are free for the NHS staff (also welcome to bring a guest). ***'No Show' Policy:*** *If the member replied 'yes' but did not attend the event, did not update the RSVP and did not inform the organiser on 3 occasions – this triggers an automatic removal from the group. That's once for events with a waiting list.*

You can bring games with you if you like, although not a requirement. 🌱**Something For Everyone:** Whether you're a seasoned board game veteran or just starting out, you're welcome. No previous experience necessary, we go through the rules before playing. We play a range of games, from lighter card and party games to epic strategies. **📌Where:** We meet at the **The Village Club** in Walthamstow, which is a 10 minute walk from Walthamstow Central underground station.. When you arrive please press the buzzer to gain entry. Just say you are joining the board game group. Come say hello and the event hosts will get you settled in. The Village Club is a member's club but you can attend our board game evening without becoming a member.

If you so wish you have the option of joining the club in future for £10 a year. ⌚**When**: * **18:30** \- Arrival & Game Sign Up * **19:00** \- Games Begin * **23:00** \- Venue Closes If you arrive after games begin, you may have to wait until the next game starts.

What contributes to the beauty are the deers and the horses that gives it that farm/forest aura. After this, if all goes well and you still want to stay out, we can let democracy decide where we can hang out further. My fellow explorers, if you enjoyed the event, I’m more than happy to accept any donations which of course are optional but will go a long way to help me unlock and deliver even more exciting and engaging events and resources: https://www.paypal.me/calvinjoy

Un drink con Joe: Vieni a Conoscermi PrimaDelle Elezoioni!😏🇮🇹✨

**Ciao a tutti gli italiani di Londra! 👋** Sono Joe, uno dei candidati di **Moving Forward – Democrazia Bene Comune**, e voglio incontrarvi di persona… senza discorsi lunghi, senza noia e soprattutto **senza cravatte**! Ci vediamo per bere qualcosa insieme e fare quattro chiacchiere in totale relax: 😄 **Chiacchiere, risate e un po’ di “come funziona davvero il Comites”** spiegato in modo semplice ed energico. # Comites Londra: larga partecipazione per “Moving Forward”. Il 18 la presentazione di programma e candidat **LONDRA -verra'** presentata sabato 18 ottobre, con un largo numero di sottoscrizioni di cittadine e cittadini, la lista **“Moving Forward - Democrazia Bene Comune”** per le elezioni del **Comites di Londra** che si terranno il prossimo 4 dicembre. “Moving Forward – Democrazia Bene Comune” è una coalizione civica della comunità italiana **progressista, democratica e antifascista** nata dall’incontro di cittadini, associazioni, movimenti e partiti uniti da valori di civismo democratico, solidarietà sociale, europeismo, internazionalismo e ambientalismo e dalla convinzione che i Comites rappresentino uno strumento fondamentale di partecipazione democratica e integrazione per le comunità italiane all’estero. La lista è composta da **venti persone** con storie, competenze ed esperienze di **attivismo al servizio della comunità italiana a Londra,** nel Sud dell’Inghilterra e in Galles: artisti, ricercatrici e ricercatori, interpreti, mediatori culturali, operatori di patronato e professionisti del no profit e altri settori. Il capolista è FEDERICO VARESE , docente presso l’Università di Oxford, esperto di criminalità organizzata e corruzione. “Da oltre dieci anni Moving Forward è forza di innovazione, laboratorio di integrazione e scintilla di progresso nel Comites di Londra – tra PARTECIPANTI il presentatore della lista ed ex consigliere Andrea Pisauro e i consiglieri uscenti Anna Cambiaggi, Germana Canzi e Golam Maula Tipu -. Abbiamo difeso i diritti degli italiani e degli europei dopo la Brexit, promosso ricerche all’avanguardia sulla mobilità della comunità italiana e lavorato su temi importanti per la nostra comunità come multilinguismo, ambiente, memoria e legalità. Abbiamo portato le esigenze della comunità nelle istituzioni britanniche ed europee, con attenzione al supporto alla disabilità e al benessere psicologico delle persone che espatriano. Abbiamo lavorato duramente per un Comites più aperto, trasparente e accessibile al servizio della più grande comunità italiana in Europa.” I rappresentanti della lista hanno poi aggiunto che la loro volontà è quella di “continuare a modernizzare e rendere più solidale e inclusivo il Comites di Londra, difendendo i diritti dei cittadini per rafforzare il senso di comunità. Moving Forward per noi vuol dire andare avanti ispirandosi a valori di civismo, partecipazione e solidarietà. Democrazia Bene Comune significa prenderci cura delle istituzioni e farle funzionare per tutte e tutti, valorizzando il contributo della comunità italiana alla vita sociale, culturale ed economica del Regno Unito. Il capolista Federico Varese aggiunge che “nel futuro la lista continuerà ad interpretare il concetto di italianità in modo aperto e inclusivo e si impegnerà nell’attenzione e nella cura di connazionali, nell’ampliare i servizi consolari e aumentare i corsi di lingua e cultura”. Il 18 ottobre, alle 18.00 presso il DoubleTree Hotel di Londra, verranno presentati programma e candidati della lista. 🗳️ **Parleremo delle elezioni** e di come possiamo farci rappresentare meglio nel Regno Unito. L’idea è semplice: dopo la presentazione ci vediamo ancora nel locale, ci prendiamo un drink al banco, ci presentiamo, ci raccontiamo un po’ di vita a Londra e vediamo se vi va di sostenermi per rappresentare la nostra comunità. *(Nota: l'evento è un momento d'incontro per parlare e bere qualcosa e conoscersi, per questa presentazione siamo stati aiutati da ZEN un amico inglese e non solo che sostiene tutte le persone di buona volontà).h ttps://www.meetup.com/cityzenlondon* Niente propaganda pesante, solo buona compagnia, energia positiva e un sorriso. programma ora disponibile sul sito grazie a tutti quelli ci hanno lavorato!
