March Newsletter and Aida Development News

Below is this month’s Newsletter, which will be winging it’s way to you very soon. All the usual news and information, but there is also a new, potential option for the redevelopment of the Aida factory on City Road. We’ve now got permission to share the promo video, so do please have a look. Comments welcome!

The community centre will have a family Quiz night on Friday 5th April, which is always a good night. The last quiz was very popular, so do come along. Children welcome, and rounds for all ages!

Also, do save the date for Chester Green Event Teams 2nd annual fashion show (all proceeds going to this year’s Picnic on the Green event)! It was a great event last year, and will be on Friday 3rd May, 2019

LCRA December Newsletter!

Well, it’s the month of Christmas, so here’s everything that’s going on in Chester Green over the festive period!  I’ve also attached the November newsletter, as I forgot last month!

There’s the Christingle service on Sunday 2nd December at 4pm (St Paul’s) and the excellent Carol service (with live brass band….not to be missed!) on 16th December at 7pm.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church also have a Carol Service on 14th December at 6.30pm.
