This month, after a quick catch up and a cup of coffee, we will have a discussion about where to head off to for summer rides. Could be local – could be far afield. Have you any special recommendations? Or want to ask others where they can recommend. Do come along for a chat to mark the end of this season of meetings (we have been promised very nice biscuits…..).
Note the date for the next meeting after this is Thursday 29th September. But do keep an eye on the website for rides and events over the summer.

What? Planning Meeting for the Town Team ‘Sustainable High Rd’ event
When? MONDAY 27th June 2022 7pm -8.30pm

We recently had a successful launch event attended by over 70 East Finchley traders and residents and we are now getting down to business and planning for our first event which will take place on the High Road on Saturday September 17th, 2022. This will focus on Sustainability, from big topics such as how we can sustain our High Road in the future but also practical information about which shops on the High Road provide refill service or a recycling point etc. On the day there will be stalls and activities.
