The great Bell Tower quiz

In May 2014 we had a great fun quiz at the Crowne Plaza hotel by Caversham Bridge – a fun evening with laughter, competition and view of the river too.

Tidy-up Day 2013

The Big Skip’s back again! We had to postpone our event until October this time because of the building work at the school during the summer. As usual it didn’t take long to fill our giant skip, provided with sponsorship from Reading Festival organisers Festival Republic, and we had a great bike repair workshop going too.

Newport Road street party 2013

Saturday 1 June 2013 – another excellent street party for the Big Lunch weekend! We had beautiful weather, and around 150 locals came along to our big street party.

Loads of games and things to do – ‘hook a duck’, cake decorating for kids, the ‘me and my pet’ photo competition, another fiendish quiz… Many thanks to all the volunteers who helped set the party up and the residents of Newport Road for hosting. And special thanks to Andy from the Moderation and his family for the free barbecue!

The Whitley Windmill – Reading’s wind turbine

On Thursday 23 May 2013 we visited the vast wind turbine in Green Park. The turbine can power more than 1,000 homes, and is actually situated just over the boundary in the borough of Wokingham.

Tidy-up Day 2012

The Big Skip’s back for a sixth time! As usual it didn’t take long to fill our giant skip, provided with sponsorship from Reading Festival organisers Festival Republic.

Newport Road Diamond Jubilee street party

On Saturday 2 June 2012 we held our biggest and best event yet! 200 locals came along to our big street party in Newport Road to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. We all had a stunning afternoon – and many thanks to Andy and the staff of the Moderation, New Hope for use of their furniture and facilities, the Standard Tandoori for bringing food, the volunteers who helped set the party up and Mel, Nicola and Sarah of Newport Road for their enthusiasm and help in organising the event.
