Street Party: July 2
There is a group of us going for the Feb do as there is a band with some urbanites in it. The Effra thing is specifically family friendly - can't go this Sat (1 Feb..) but I'm hoping to go in March instead. Actually should tag Boudicca really as she kindly tried to help me get to the December one.
This is all very well but, when this event happens, I lose my place to have a quick beer while daughter two's at ballet nearby. And no Mango Landin' either.

I believe it is happening in a different space from the bar? So that curmudgeonly ballet-dads can still have a pint. I will be there on Saturday as a Guitar Mum. I still haven't made it to the Effra and am looking forward to the 'Ey Up bitter.

The Ey Up is pretty nice.

Well I might have been exaggerating a bit, but didn't you say you did some at primary school?i've barely mastered country walking

Anyway, the one where the urbanites are playing is Fri 21st Feb in the evening. Unless you have kids, I wouldn't recommend the afternoon one at the Effra. The children were having a great time at the evening one I went to, and it was lovely to watch fathers & daughters dancing together, BUT I reckon an afternoon one might feel a bit like being at a kids party.

The urbanite band is Friday 21 Feb in West Norwood... the March thing is a different event.
Winot
I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
Come and say hello to the ballet-dads if you make it. We will be there from 4-5pm. I will be with non-ballet daughter as Mrs Winot is abandoning us for the weekend.

It looks as if the room at the front is being reserved as a sanctuary for ballet dads

Alas not. Had to run the gauntlet of the Hooterhobcanning instead.

Here's the text, if that attachment is hard to read...The West Norwood Hotel is set for a takeover…
Nick Willoughby a West Norwood local and two of his friends are armed with a drill, paint brushes and lots of pots and pans as they set to take over The Norwood Hotel and re-open it as The Great North Wood pub and kitchen.
With Nick's background in street food trading, Joe's chef credentials and Kerry's career in events, the plan is to create the perfect local for West Norwooders - a relaxed, family-friendly pub, serving delicious food and great beer. It will be light and airy during the day; a great place to enjoy the papers, a coffee or some lunch and in the evening it will be a cosy haven to have a well deserved drink and enjoy a delicious home cooked meal. When the sun decides to show itself the garden will open and the BBQ will fire up!
Talking about the new pub and kitchen, Nick said, “We are super excited about the opening of The Great North Wood. I’ve lived here for nearly 6 years and it just feels like West Norwood is crying out for a great pub and kitchen.
The Great North Wood kitchen is going to be serious, fun. Our food will be free to roam in whichever direction, creating an exciting, and ever changing menu.
As with our kitchen, our bar will be created to give quality, uniqueness and variety with a rotation of local beers showcasing some of London’s finest breweries, a great little wine list and of course a quality selection of spirits.”
The refurbishment will begin on the 17th of February and will re-open for the last weekend of March.

If you walk up to WN station from Tulse Hill it's just past the station on the left.
Next to West Norwood station in other words
Chuffed about this....I must be the only person barred from it's previous incumbents.
Cool. Probably a bit far for someone lazy like me, especially if somewhere decent opens in This, That in the mean time.

They'd have to get a shimmy on - the place by WN station opens at the end of the next month, according to that report.
I guess they're hoping to capitalise on the foot traffic to and from the leisure centre, as the pub will be just across from the front access path. Hit the gym, then have a pint and a pie.

I'm going with a couple of other urbanites who may or may not out themselves. And there are a few urbanites playing in one of the bands. So that's 5 from here that I know of.

just got this which is rather sad.. there really are some awful people out there to do this..
Hello, I am not a local of West Norwood but 2 years ago, after my father passed away, we chose West Norwood Columbarium within the Cemetery to place his ashes. Ever since we have got to know West Norwood and have only been impressed by the kindness of people we have met in passing.
Unfortunately some time between last Friday 14th Feb and Tuesday 18th Feb when we discovered the incident, my father's urn containing his ashes were stolen from the Columbarium.
We are in a state of absolute distress and would like to ask if anyone has seen a beige/cream/pale green mottled round marble urn that is quite heavy, about 25cms tall and has gold leaf chinese writing down the front. We hope that the urn remains sealed but if not the contents are in a red bag that we pray are untouched or undamaged. The urn is not one that is usually found or seen in the UK so would be easily identifiable.
We would be eternally grateful if any sightings of my father's urn can be reported to us -via WestNorwoodNews.
