Also on 18th June(yes, one of two events that day), in the evening, is a 'workshop'. We're calling it that because we're not planning a big presentation this time.
We want to start to focus the talk, this time the two subjects are Health & Wellbeing and Sport in the area.
If you are interested, involved in or have a view on either of these come along to St. Andrew's Church, Chelmsley Wood Craig Croft, on Thursday 18th June 7:30 - 9:00 and let's talk about what's happening, what needs work, what's missing.
The kettle is on from 7:00.

We'll be listing the other themes in a later post, one thing at a time (or two in this case)! You can see what they are on the reel on the FB page.
