CHOUMERT SQ. OPEN GARDENS 'VILLAGE FETE'
One of the highlights of the year in Bellenden is the Choumert Square Open Gardens day, organised by the Choumert Sq. residents. It is just like our annual village fete, and open to all from nearby neighbourhoods. This year it is on Sunday 6th June 1pm - 6pm. See details: Http://www.ngs.org.uk/gardens/gardenfinder/garden.aspx?id=14482
Description: About 46 mini gardens with maxi-planting in Shangri-la situation that the media has described as a 'Floral Canyon', which leads to small communal 'secret garden' . Art, craft and home-made produce stalls and live music. Delicious refreshments. Gardens and village fête in one! See this short video from a previous year: Http://www.bellenden.net/category/road/choumert-square
A local stall with the Peckham Society and the Bellenden Residents Group will be there as usual. It is a great way to say hello to locals who work behind the scenes all year round on local issues.

Bellenden Big Lunch - Bollywood anyone? Take part or just watch
Message from the Bellenden Big Lunch organisers:
BELLENDEN BIG LUNCH BOLLYWOOD
Bellenden Road is planning its second 'Big Lunch' street party this year. To make it really special, one of the residents is organising a Bollywood performance and is looking for people to take part. Are you up for it?
First Training Date: Saturday 29th May 2010 10.15am to 11.15am
Where: Bellenden Old School, which is the large old Victorian building on the corner of Maxted Road and Bellenden Road (165 Bellenden Road)
Who can come: Anyone of any age, ability or agility is welcome.
Please let Usmaan know if you are coming by dropping him an email on usmaan114@yahoo.co.uk.
After the training sessions the Bollywood trainer will be sending out video clips of the dance, so that you can watch on your computer and practice at home.
WHAT IS THE BELLENDEN BIG LUNCH?
It's a street party that is going to be happening on Bellenden Road on Sunday 18th July. It's a chance to make food and share with neighbours and friends. Residents will be getting tables, chairs, rugs and beanbags out in the street. There will be thousands of local lunches taking place round the country Sunday! See www.thebiglunch.com Last year was the first Bellenden Big Lunch and all agreed it was a tremendous success. Let's do it again!
This is being organised by local residents in and near Bellenden Road who organised it last year. For more information or to get involved contact Polly
