Changing Vauxhall - Your Opportunity
The 2010 Community Expo
11th September 2010
12 – 5.00 p.m. Spring Gardens, Vauxhall
Kennington, Oval & Vauxhall Forum, together with the Friends of Spring Gardens and Vauxhall City Farm, are organising a community fun day with entertainment, exhibitions demonstrations and a market place for voluntary and community organisations. We would like you to take part.
We are celebrating the change of name of Spring Gardens back to Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens. But also we are celebrating Vauxhall City Farm Open day. The gardens are undergoing change – the new entrance from Kennington Lane is under construction.
HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY
The theme for the event is Changing Vauxhall - how it has changed, how it might change, and how you would wish it to change. Changing the environment, health, housing, educational opportunities etc. Tell officers what you would do with the S.106 money from any developments.
The event will provide opportunities for:
• promoting local volunteering,
• networking and information sharing
• engaging with the community
There will also be grants of £500 to North Lambeth organisations, to be decided by public vote at the event.
If you would like to be involved by:
• Taking a pitch
• Providing entertainment
• Applying for a grant
• Sponsoring the event
• Promoting the event to your members
• Family competitions
... then please let us know, ideally by 13th August, by email to forumkov@gmail.com

Farmer's Market at the Oval Churchyard
From the Oval Partnership:
The Farmers' Market in the Oval Churchyard may be muddy but it's thriving and providing great produce for local people. If the bad weather's put you off for a while, now's the time to get back in the Saturday shopping habit. You'll find the ever popular coffee stall, crepes and cheese toasties, along with very fresh fish, meat, vegetables, bread and cakes and other produce. Why not make the market a habit - and bring your friends and continue to help build our neighbourhood.
Oval Partnership's been busy working on plans to improve the Farmers' Market site along with the rest of the Oval Churchyard. We want the area to become a welcoming focus for our area, not just for the market, but for the rest of the week too. We've raised initial funds and appointed specialist landscape architects who will advise us on how to make the most of the space. They're just starting work now.
We want to hear what you think of the market and how you would like to see the space develop - your ideas will be useful to the architects. We'll be around the coffee stall at the Farmers' Market on Saturday 17 April from 10.30 to 1pm so come and find us for a chat or email your ideas and comments to contactovalpartnership@googlemail.com.
See you there!
