mrs_leroy_brown and I are running a food walk along London Road, Croydon, on Saturday 12 October 2019. If you’d like to come along, full details are here.
Hello! As previously noted, the sixth annual Croydon Fun Weekend will run from Friday 26 to Sunday 28 January this year. I very much hope you can come!
Here's the schedule, and it's also under a cut below, for convenience.
Important things to note:
- Friday afternoon: Everyone is welcome at Beanies, but only children aged 5 and under are allowed on the soft play equipment.
- Friday and Saturday evenings: If you want to come to dinner at Abshar and/or Osushi, please let me know ASAP, but preferably at the latest by noon on Monday 22 January. It's fine to put yourself down as a "probable" — I just want to give the restaurant a rough idea of how many we'll be.
- Financial considerations: There is no charge for anything during the weekend aside from your own food/drink and entrance to Beanies for children (adults go free). If there are any sessions you'd like to come to but can't afford to pay food/drinks/Beanies costs for, please let me know and I'll find a solution.
Finally, if you haven't received any emails about this event, and you would like to receive them in the future, please let me know! I haven't had any bounces from the batch I sent recently, but it's always possible I have an old email address for you or even that I've accidentally missed you off the list.
( Full schedule under the cut. )Croydon artist Bev Jones is holding her first solo exhibition next month. She specialises in street scenes painted in bright acrylics, including people, shops, and trams.
Travelling, by Bev Jones, reproduced by permission. This shows the southern end of London Road, including the no-longer-present Ship of Fools. I have put down a deposit and by the end of the year this painting will be living in my house!
The launch is on Saturday 9 August, 11am–1pm, at Matthews Yard, off Surrey Street, Croydon, CR0 1FF, and I will be there because I'm buying one of her paintings and this painting will be part of the exhibition. (I am very excited about this purchase!) Would you like to come along too?
