Arkady - you're a gent!

Thank you for editing your original comment to * the original word (began with a C, in case anyone was wondering).

Seriously Joust, there are parents coming tomorrow night whose children have transitioned. Let's show them some respect. And everyone else who attends.

Hi Joust, honestly, that last sentence. Embarrassed for you.

@miss annie - we hold meetings and events at different times but they have to fall within the opening times of the library - 9am -7pm Monday - Friday and 9am - 5pm on Saturdays. We have a games afternoon on Saturday, March 11, 2-4pm as our next even…

My son is in Year 10 at GCA (Greig) and is doing very well there. He is a St Aidan's old boy also! We've always been very happy with the school and the Progress 8 measures out recently show the school - and all Haringey state secondary schools - in …
-
And now with added knitting! Come and say hello to the library's knitters / crocheters at the same event.
-
It has a fairly settled staff - some changes each year but others staying and giving a good mix. My son always seemed to have the perfect teacher for the year he was in and they give a lot of thought to preparing children for Year 7. The school has …

My son went to St Aidan's and was very happy there - and we were happy with the school. I know some people who were less happy with the school. It's not just the school that makes the experience of course - it's the child, the parents and the endles…

You may have your own view of "yummy mummies and lap toppers" but the people running the cafe welcomed them. They welcomed anyone with a fiver to buy lunch. They needed the money to offer training / rent the space / buy store cupboard essentials. Th…

They had a short-term funding issue. And also a real problem explaining their 'offer' to people. They didn't mind how well-off the customers were - the twin aims of the project were to use up surplus food and to offer training to people in catering …

Another good cause - http://www.woolagainstweapons.co.uk / https://www.facebook.com/pages/Wool-Against-Weapons/570747079617581 - a seven-mile long knitted protest scarf project with the pieces to be then re-made into blankets for refugees.

There are friendly and helpful knitting / crochet groups at libraries across Haringey, e.g. 1-4pm at Stroud Green & Harringey Libraries on Thursdays and 11am onwards in the cafe at Hornsey Library on Saturdays. I also think you can knit at St An…

I would suggest contacting the charity directly to see if they need items which don't come under the list above. If they do - and you don't have transport - then I would be happy to take them for you when I deliver the other stuff. But I would prefe…

More information about the fair at St Aidan's which will take place on Friday: This year the Fair will open at 6pm with the turning on of the Christmas lights and carol singing from the children. The evening will include a visit from Santa and there…

There are many examples of people with a direct link to war - and their views on the subject of war memorials are as varied as ours… e.g. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/australiaandthepacific/australia/8124932/Last-British-veteran-of-WW1-…

You have support - we haven't achieved consensus yet! I walked past Trinity Green today and it occurred to me that people might not be familiar with the site and this could have caused some of the problems. The 'memorial' part of the war memorial is…

Sorry, I'm hogging this now! Just a small technical thing to point out - @Detritus - there are pacifist peace groups and there are peace groups that aren't pacifist. The good news is that there are a lot of peace groups! And jaded? Bruce Kent / Kate…

Some of the most powerful advocates for peace are soldiers and former soldiers. Harry Patch, for example, from WWI and Ben Griffin former SAS and now Veterans for Peace.http://peacenews.info/node/5810/was-harry-patch-worlds-oldest-pacifisthttp://vet…

Where is the mocking?

'Another time' also had plenty of people who called for peace … e.g. - http://events.history.ac.uk/event/show/10861I also know of a current project to identify COs in Stroud Green at the time of war - and it is turning out that there were many. One…

The garden around the memorial was recently dedicated as a peace garden including a board describing events on Granville Road in the 1939 - 45 war. I would prefer a symbol of peace - combining respectful remembrance with an appeal for non-violent c…

The draft plans include letting a circus come to the park once a year. I like the sound of that.

Re windows: I changed mine last year - with timber, don't worry - but looking at the conservation area rules I was surprised to find that there is a 'recommendation' that you don't use uPVC, but not a 'rule.' http://www.haringey.gov.uk/index/housing…

A reminder that a talk by Marilyn Collins, the artist who created the Spriggan, will be held this coming Saturday at 3pm, upstairs in Stroud Green & Harringay Library (Quernmore Road) to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the arrival of the Sprig…

Hi, thanks - but I have just this minute got a note to say the meeting has been cancelled as John Morris has another engagement that day which he had forgotten about.
