DATES FOR YOUR DIARY


Steward's party 2012.jpg

As a thank you for all the Stewards' hard work during the year, this year's party was held on the 18th January and was on the theme of the Diamond Jubilee Buffet - Indoor Street Party. The tables and the room was decorated in red, white and blue with a large table ladened with party food.  A  good time was had by all .  There were 2 quizs on the theme of Royal connections and Coins.

We have several openings for new Stewards whose work we very much appreciate, so please get in touch with Pauline Payne on 01737 554449 should you wish to join us.  We are always in need of  more Stewards to help deliver The Review and Collect subscriptions, perhaps as a stepping stone to joining the ECRA Committee for which we are alway grateful for additional help to spread the load as we are all volunteers and wish to support residents of Coulsdon.
