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 />
