FBWRA had a stall at the “Community Event” organised by the Council and held in Friary Park on 20th September. The Council’s chosen theme was “Together we are Barnet”.
The line-up included a new look 383 community bus which TfL is looking to introduce (although we were assured the service, running from Woodside Park Underground Station to The Spires shopping centre, will be unchanged), music and dancing by members of the Barnet Asian Woman’s Association (who use part of Friary House in the park for meetings), and who also provided a free lunch for those attending, members of Community Focus (also from Friary House) and the Friends of Friary Park.

Some of those watching the dancing were a little bemused
Sadly, the event was held 11 a.m. – 1.p.m. on a Friday – not exactly peak time in the park, but even so it was pleasant in the late summer sunshine.
