Fleeting Moments

From the talented Elm Village group of Jan, Frances and Ed(ward) and James Gordon

FLEETING MOMENTS is a completely new entertainment in words, music and song. For one hour the performers will present scenes, comic and serious, set in Camden’s past.

So we invite you to come and spend an unusual sixty minutes – by the end of which you will also know about the menu of William Bruges’ banquet, the daily life of a ‘fly boat’ man and the sad end of a ‘step girl’. If you aren’t saddened by the fate of Mr and Mrs Osburn, or don’t laugh out loud at the rendering of Cherry Ripe,by our Italian guest singer, Lotta Cannelloni, we’ll give you back the price of your admission – which won’t make you rich as all events are free.

  • Wednesday February 15th
  • Library of the Camden Irish Centre, Camden Square,NW1.
  • Doors open 7:00pm for 7:30pm
  • Admission free

 

A wonderful event!

The rain eased off just in time for the Elm Village Season Celebrations just before the Christmas Holidays. A good time was had by all. Special thanks to all the organisers and performers including David & Harriet, Ed & Frances, Zoe, Jan, Pat, Peter, Nigel, Wendy and staff at the Constitution, Mike and his crew at Camden Garden Centre. Here’s a selection of photos sent in by residents.

Monday 19th December Seasonal Celebration

We are still going ahead with our family event tree event in the Crescent today. If it’s raining badly at 5:30pm we’ll gather at David and Harriet’s home at 22 Bergholt Mews.

The regular Carols at the Con will of course take place at the Constitution 7:00pm – 8:00pm

Elm Village Family Holiday Event – 19th December

Each year, our friends at the Camden Garden Centre donate a Christmas Tree to Evtra. The tree will be on the Green in the Crescent. It’s also a tradition for residents to gather round the tree.

Please join your neighbours and friends for a candle-lit family celebration around the tree on the Green in the Crescent (Rossendale Way). 19th December 5:30pm – 6:15pm

  • Bring a couple of baubles for the tree
  • Come and sing Christmas songs with Harriet, our resident multi-instrumentalist
  • Mince pies, fizzy drinks and a lucky dip for the kids

The Constitution: Come on in, it's warm inside

This is followed by our ever-popular festive sing-song which takes place in the Constitution at 7:00pm. We gather in the bar cellar, with mince pies and mulled wine courtesy of our host Wendy, the Constitution’s lovely landlady. This is your chance to wish your neighbours the best of the season and belt out Away in a Manger as heartily as you can.

November Newsletter

Members of the EVTRA committee will be delivering member newsletters to your door in the next few days. It contains updates on noise, Neighbourhood Watch, events, useful contacts and more. We’ll be posting it online as well soon.
