We all have views about how the Community Centre is run - and now is the most ideal time to shape the future of this amazing place.

Hi Leabank Square
I also live locally and I find this Community Hall very cold and unwelcoming.
I will be coming to the AGM, but really only to see for myself why it is in such a state! Is this the only Community Hall that we have locally, or is there a more friendly and inviting place for us local residents to meet?

Me too!!
I've lived all me life here on the trowbridge, and I've never seen such a miserable bunch in all me life.
They have a cheek to call that place a community centre when it seems that your only welcome if you know that terry guy.
Waste of space.
Hi anon
Well - now's your chance to change all that! Put your money where your mouth is - and come to the AGM.
If you're not happy with the way its run - then come along and say so. Tell them what they need to do. Then sign up for membership and volunteer for the centre.
Get active.

Hi Sóna
How are you connected to the centre? I somehow don't feel that you're part of this rude lot!
On the day of the Hackney Wick Festival, I was told that the centre was opening it's toilets for the public, and so when Keesha (my youngest) was desperate after bouncing on your free bouncy castle, I made my way there.
At the door, I was asked what I wanted in quite a rude way, by the manager. I explained that my daughter needed the loo, but I was ushered out the door.
Thankfully one of the bus drivers at the number 30 depot saw this on his way to clock in, and said I could use their loo.
I feel like bringing this up at the AGM, but I don't want to be treated like that again, so I probabaly won't end up going.
Please see if you can find out if this was a one-off, or maybe he just didn't like me!
Thanks
Precious
Hey Sóna
I just can't place my finger on what's wrong with this place?!
I know it's our local community centre, but I have never felt as if it was even PART of the community?
There have been hardly any times when I have felt that anything held there was of ANY benefit to ANY of us.
Even the Olympic roadshow stuff was so blatantly spin that - as a resident - I feel as if being there made not a jot of difference.
The question is - would I be able to make any difference if I attended this AGM?
The feeling I have is that it's gone way over being a lost cause.
Sorry Sóna - I know you want as many Wickers there as possible, but I'll hang back & see what happens over the next year.
Good New Year to you & your family mate!!
Bill
Hi Sóna
What is the invitation all about for this?! I've just had one posted through the door and it's a dogs breakfast!!
If this is meant to motivate us all to come to the meeting - then it's definetely not going to work!!
Who designed it?
If it WAS you dude - then please leave it to the proffesionals!!
