Hello Walpole Friends,

So, here we are in May (having suffered the wettest drought ever known!) but at the weather is at last hotting up as are lots of other things!

You should know by now that the council was successful in getting through to stage two of the bidding process for Lottery Funding to restore Pitzhanger Manor. If you remember, this was the third attempt, having been refused twice in the last couple of years. They persevered though and this time got through. Mind you, it’s only the first round, and there is a great deal more work to do before we can be sure to secure the funds.
 
Do look out for a series of public consultations which will be announced shortly - the council is keen to hear what you think about the Manor, its' future and what you would like to see both structurally and in terms of usage.

It is now time for our 2nd AGM – the date is Monday 2nd July at Pitzhanger Manor from 6 pm - 9 pm. Please try to be there.

You will be aware of course that we now have our bees and they are certainly keeping us busy. They are a huge responsibility but there are now 20 or so of us in the bee group and we are having a lot of fun looking after these busy and beautiful little creatures. We don't expect to get any honey this year but from next year onwards, hopefully, we will have Walpole Park honey!

Do come along to see them one Saturday if you have time. Please let me know in advance and I will make arrangements for you to get involved.
 
We are coming to the time of the festival of course and so I hope you all get involved and enjoy what is on offer. There will also be the Olympic Torch Party. This will be happening on 24th July, during the summer festival...more info below.
 
Have a wonderful summer everyone, hopefully see some of you at the WF Jubilee Picnic, Ealing Festival or Torch Party.
