The Big Lunch Build Up!

LARA is organising our first ever Big Lunch as part of the nationwide annual event. Friends, families and neighbours are invited to come and have fun, eat and be merry!
Entrance is a plate of food to share.

We had our last meeting at the Rec tonight....That's the West Hackney Recreation Ground. It's the green space behind St. Paul's Church at the end of Leswin Road.
Kick off is at 1pm but anyone who wants to help out beforehand can meet at 11am on the day. Niall the Rector at St. Paul's is kindly lending tables and chairs, so we are hoping to set up a banquet style long table. There won't be enough chairs for everyone so it's down to you all to bring picnic blankets and deckchairs etc. and to find your spot around the park.
Bunting needs to go up, table laid and general safety check of the park as a whole before everyone arrives.

There is no money coming from anywhere, unfortunately, so at the moment it's kind donations from LARA committee members. We hope to reimburse with donations on the day or fundraising at a later date. So basically it's what we can all make of it as a neighbourhood.

The general idea is to turn up with food to share, bring your own drink, plates, cutlery, picnic blankets and anything else to add to the entertainment on the day.

Growing Communities have come up trumps with donations of delicious, local grown salad!

Gazebos and deckchairs, cushions and blankets are all welcome.

Sorry, no barbecues, dogs and unaccompanied children. We are trying to make it as safe a day as possible and want everyone to have a good time!

Please comment below if you'd like to help out or have any suggestions.
