Rhodes Avenue Christmas Fair, 2-5pm Saturday 3rd December. Come along!
Please come to our lovely school fair on Sunday 3rd December 12-3pm/ Come and meet one of Santa's reindeer and sample some mulled wine. Loads of fun for the kids. Everyone welcome.
On Saturday 3rd Dec. there will be the regular PGRA Community Gardening session to plant bulbs in the Albert Road flower beds.
Can you spare some time on Saturday December 3rd to help us plant a HUGE quantity of spring bulbs?
We are hoping to repeat the splendid display of colour that we achieved last year. We have a large number of beautiful hyacinth, daffodil, narcissi tulips and new perennial's to plant so we would appreciate the help of as many as possible. Don't worry if you can only help for a short time - all help will be appreciated.
Please meet at Albert Road/Crescent Rise beds between 11.00a.m.-1.00p.m
Alternatively, come and help to complete bulb planting at Palace Gates Road/Crescent Road Triangle on Wednesday 30th at 10.30, for about an hour. Although we have already planted some bulbs in The Triangle beds, we have now received the bulbs supplied free to community groups from Haringey.

Several local crafts people have joined together to create a two-day Christmas Mini Market. Every year Jo and Rachel have spent the last Saturday in November selling handmade gifts at the Pavilion Cafe (thanks Robbie).

There will be Christmas wreaths and table decorations, either to buy then or to order, jewellery, hand knits and sews, candles, cards and more and, Sunday only, local honey will be on offer.
