4ALL’s Carols 4ALL will take place between 11:00 and 13:00.
This is a drop-in carol-singing event at which people can come and sing traditional carols and enjoy mince pies, mulled wine, coffee and tea etc; there are a few stalls selling Christmassy things as well!
In past years the informality and non-churchiness of the event has meant that we have succeeded in attracting isolated people whom Christmas might otherwise pass by and we hope to see many more this year!
To enable flood alleviation works to be carried out, Lambeth intend to temporarily ban parking, waiting and loading by vehicles at any time in Idmiston Road, on both sides, from Ardlui Road to the common boundary of Nos. 45 and 47 Idmiston Road.
The times this is in effect will be indicated by traffic signs. This comes into force on 7th December 2014 and will continue for 1 month, or until the works have been completed (whichever is sooner)

Here is Max helping to support the Wrenches, Trenches and Stenches exhibition last weekend. “Having been working with the Friends of West Norwood Cemetery with their scrub clearance it was great just to chat to local people about the exhibition, the local area and to consider the forthcoming centenary of the start of the Great War which is not far away now”
