BADA’S NEW PRODUCTION – THE 39 STEPS

Based on the original ripping 1935 Hitchcock motion picture masterpiece, the action is here in all its madcap glory.  John Hannay's audacious, eventful journey and quest to find the healing power of love – and spirited break-up of a spy-ring along the way!

Chased by spies on board the Flying Scotsman and across the Scottish moors. The escape over the Forth Bridge, the bi-plane crash and the near death-defying finale at the London Palladium.

Join us for an unmissable evening of fast-paced entertainment - just suspend your disbelief from the safety of your seat.

Effects of the closure of Waitrose

With the impending closure of Waitrose there will be no new supermarket locally until late Spring 2020.

This will create difficulties for some elderly, disabled and infirm residents.

Many of you may bot be are aware that Careplus provide a volunteer shopping service for those who do not/cannot use internet shopping. More information is available on their website https://www.care-plus.org.uk/.

There is a local contact at Careplus Bromley

Alternatively if you have a neighbour who will be having difficulty in shopping away from the Estate after November perhaps a helping hand can be offered.

Reminder of LERA AGM Tuesday 14th May

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

To be held on Tuesday 14th May 2019 in St Andrew’s Hall (Main Hall), Burnt Ash Lane,

starting at 7 30pm

This is a very important meeting for us and we hope you will be able to come along and lend your support.  Even if you are not an existing member, you are welcome to join us.  As mentioned in our January update and our recent survey, we need to appoint a new Chair and a Secretary to make sure that LERA continues to run effectively.

We were very pleased with the positive response to our survey with over 30% of our membership returning the questionnaire.  Thanks to everyone who participated.  It has given us some very useful information and highlighted issues which will help us identify priorities for the future.  We also had some offers of help and we are following these up.

All of this is very encouraging and we hope our AGM will provide a good opportunity to talk about the survey response and how we should move forward.

We will have presentations from JusB and the Bromley and Downham Youth Club about the work they are doing to support younger people. We have invited our Councillors and our local Safer Neighbourhood Police Team.

So it’s going to be a busy evening.  We look forward to seeing you there.  Refreshments will be available at the end of the meeting.

The minutes of the 2018 AGM can be viewed on our website.  Copies will also be available at the meeting.
