FWP2009

Today the Friends were pleased to welcome members of the Planning and Conservation Working Group (PCWG) of the London Parks and Gardens Trust to #WansteadPark. We are grateful for their interest, and will continue to liaise with them as plans for the park develop.

Gill James' report on the 2025 FWP quiz -
"Friday's quiz was a great success with a nice friendly sociable atmosphere. It was fully booked and there wasn't a spare chair to be found and not much room to move either: 80 people attended plus the organisers. Profit was £801.80."

Forthcoming Wren Group event on 13 December -
