We had a very generous donation today from West Essex Golf Club. From L - R we have Stephanie Collins, Peter Moore, who is the Annual Senior Captain of the club and finally Ron Bonham. The clubs players and visitors over the year raised a phenomenal £4250. Thank you so much👏👏

Please be aware that released balloons eventually fall out of the sky as rubbish and pose a hazard to wildlife. This balloon was found beside a regularly used deer trail in #EppingForest. Deer are inquisitive animals and may get tangled in such litter.

We held our wonderful Nativity at the weekend. The children and ponies behaved beautifully. With around 250 people attending, it made it a very special occasion.

A tad nervous giving a TEDx presentation today. There were nine other inspirational speakers. I was first on and pleased to say it went well. TEDx will have to approve it before posting 🤞

[Chigwell RDA @Chigride]

Our 60th is not too far away. It would be great if you could come and celebrate the occasion. Please try and make a table up or just come on your own, whatever? it would be lovely to see you. All the details are on the flier.
