THE STORY SO FAR...

Since setting up the Group in March 2006 we have:

• Built a new community group with nearly 200 life members
• Represented the Pleasaunce at local Council meetings and on the Police's Safer Neighbourhood Team Ward Panel
• Worked with Greenwich Council on plans for a cafe and toilets in the Pleasaunce
• Hosted eight events in the Pleasaunce, including family fun days, Christmas Carols, and a 150th Anniversary birthday party for the Park in June 2007 with funding from local businesses and national grants
• Marked the 150th Anniversary with a time capsule filled with memorabilia chosen by pupils from local primary school, Halstow, and commissioned a plaque by Greenwich Mural Workshop, funded by the Greenwich Hospital Trust and Friends events
• We also set up this website (do send in your photos/comments).
