Macfarlane Rd - Meet Your Neighbours on Sunday 5th July

Macfarlane Rd

Residents of Hopgood St, Wood Lane and Macfarlane Rd are cordially invited to come and "Meet Your Neighbours" on Sunday 5th July at 5pm, and celebrate 75 Years of the NHS.

The Corona virus hasn't brought us many benefits (less traffic?) but it has brought some communities closer together.

In Macfarlane Rd, the indefatigable Belinda Mitchell-Innes organised leaflets, a Facebook Group, and a WhatsApp Group to help keep an eye on the most vulnerable and make sure local people stayed safe. This weekend, she is inviting neighbours to a "Street Meet and Greet" at 5pm on Sunday 5th July.

Street Meet & Greet
As Lockdown eases, it is important to keep this sense of community spirit alive. On behalf of the Macfarlane Rd Residents Association, Belinda has set up the first Sunday in every month to get together as a community.

Sunday 5th July at 5pm
Local residents are invited to come out and have a cup of tea and some cake together on Sunday at 5.00pm. Last month it was a bit damp and cold - but there was an amazing amount of very good cake. This Sunday Nicholas will be making his Regency cakes.

75 Years of the NHS
Sunday's event also ties into the proposed "National Clap" to celebrate 75 years of the NHS, also at 5.00pm https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-53177483

When and Where
If you live in Macfarlane Rd, Wood Lane or Hopgood Street just come round to Macfarlane Road for a "socially distance mingle" with your neighbours.
