If you're wondering where the Events and Blog have gone, it seems to be a problem with the software server - lots of sites are complaining! Hope they'll get it sorted out soon ...

During a previous meeting of SAPL, it was suggested that I be interviewed about the area as I had a lot of local knowledge. This never happened, but I have written some notes and have some photos.
I also volunteer for the Royal Gunpowder Mills in Waltham Abbey, but not much is happening there now and the season is coming to a close. I am therefore more free to give a small talk if required.
That would be brilliant, Brian. Thanks very much for getting in touch. Perhaps there are two possibilities here - (1) a talk for a SAPL meeting and (2) an interview, with the article appearing on this website (and/or elsewhere, if appropriate?). I'm sorry if nothing further happened about this - I wonder if I remember you from the Launch of the website last March, or am I confusing you with somebody else? I will investigate possibilities.
Best wishes
Annabel
I could do either, Annabel.
I was at the launch meeting.

Just thinking about this,
I have lots of photos going back many years which would make an article very large if published, and it doesn't allow for questions.
Shall I bring my PA system and give a talk at a SAPL meeting?
I gather that Tessa Thomas (who first talked at the Launch about the possilibity of an interview) has been in contact with you about this - we have been discussing lots of possibilities, and she will discuss them further with you. She is a journalist with interviewing skills! I have not heard anything from SAPL (who are separate from Alexandra Park Neighbours) - will try contacting some other SAPL members.

Yes, she has been in touch. I have been out most of the day at the Royal Gunpowder Mills. Brought some leaflets back for the library.
