Sir Ralph Perring Centre

Are you interested in helping to organise community events on the estate? Come along to the inaugural meeting of a new residents group, GLEE (Golden Lane Estate Events).

Everyone welcome and there’ll be tea, coffee, cake…!

Dear Event Creator/ Volunteer

For a number of years individual residents have got together to run events on the estate. In discussion we have decided that it would be good to create a constituted group to help residents to raise funds for events and to offer help and volunteering opportunities in the running of community events by and for residents.

Following the Golden Baggers AGM on February 2 it was agreed that funds held by them and attributed to events they have held, outside the scope of the allotments, can be transferred to a new group, GLEE (Golden Lane Estate Events) along with profits from the Community café whose funding is also currently managed by them.

We have drawn up a simple constitution, attached*, and once agreed will set up a bank account to allow us to seek funding.

The events group, originally set up for this year’s Picnic with Music has a number of members and I hope they will continue to support GLEE.

I would like to invite you to an initial meeting on Sunday 16th February, 10.30am in the SRPR  to discuss the proposal, agree the constitution and elect the Chair, Treasurer and Secretary. If you know of other residents who might be interested in becoming a member of the group please invite them along.

Kind regards
Christine Clifford
