    BAG Harvest event
    Thanks to everyone who showed up for our community garden/harvest celebration on the Douglas Eyre playing fields. The apple press was a particular hit with the look on some of the kids faces when the juice poured forth worth putting the event on for alone. The BBQ didn’t kill anyone, and the apple bobbing was as ever a reliable bit of fun. Many residents discussed...

    BAG September Newsletter
    Firstly apologies for originally posting the wrong date on the website but the bat walk was a great success. The evening was dry after a sunny day and 18 people turned up at the Coppermill Pub. We learned various details about bats and heard their noises on a “Bat detector” which was tuned into the appropriate bat frequency. We couldn’t see any bats...

    Snap happy

This area has more than its fair share of budding David Baileys, as anyone visiting the photo sharing site Flickr will be aware. The Walthamstow group has over a 1,000 pictures to browse through, or alternatively you can search the whole site, for example find...
