Panto Launched!!

Our panto this year, Dick Whiitington, was officially launched to the
assembled ranks of the press today. As Croydon basked in some late summer
sun we took advantage of the weather by having the photo-shoot take place in
the Queen's Gardens opposite Fairfield. Pictured is Lucy Benjamin and our
Dame, Malcolm Lord having their pictures taken. Watch the press for the
pics. The lady in the immediate foreground didn't know where the camera was.
Someone should have told her "It's behind you".

People of The Book

A new art exhibition starts today on Fairfield's Sun Lounge (10th - 15th
Sept). Called 'People of the Book' it's a display of artisitic depictions of
famous characters from the Bible. The oil paintings are all done by local
artist Joy Perkins. For further info see

As the hastily-erected banner says, McFly are coming here at short notice on
the 3rd Oct. Tickets are in short supply but there's a few left. Tickets
won't be there forever so, as Fred Pontin used to say,..'Book Early'. Who
was Fred Pontin?...don't remember or not old enough then see here...

I'm sure Freddy also used to say 'Relax', or was that Frankie?
