dreaming of a<br />

SoWo<br />

Christmas<br />

Elaine Atkins and<br />

Rena Pathak start the<br />

countdown for the<br />

South Woodford<br />

Society’s local<br />

festive plans<br />

The Christmas market and our local<br />

businesses will have something for everyone,<br />

with lots of gift ideas, decorative items and,<br />

of course, delicious food for all the family to<br />

enjoy. We are organising a music pavilion,<br />

showcasing local musical talent who will be<br />

singing carols and entertaining us with live<br />

music throughout the day. And watch this<br />

space, as we may, just may, have a very special<br />

visit from a gentleman who lives in the North<br />

Pole, so we are getting a Grotto ready, just<br />

in case.<br />

In addition to the live music, festive stalls and<br />

food, we are aiming to create lots of activities<br />

for children to play, make and do, so the whole<br />

family can spend the day together enjoying<br />

the festivities. And do get in touch if you want<br />

to be involved with a stall on the day or have<br />

an idea for an activity at the event.<br />

But what would Christmas be without festive<br />

lights? As we write this, we are working with<br />

the officers at Redbridge Council to create a<br />

well-lit, festive street scene for George Lane<br />

this winter. And we’re planning to hold a<br />

special ceremony to switch on our Christmas<br />

lights in early <strong>Dec</strong>ember.<br />

Merry Christmas and see you soon!<br />

The South Woodford Christmas market<br />

will take place on George Lane on<br />

19 <strong>Dec</strong>ember from 11am to 4pm. For more<br />
