Crossfields TRA has put in a bid to buy an outdoor Table Tennis table and needs your support. To be successful in getting the cash, they need the Local Assembly to vote in favour of the project – that means you! The more people who go along to vote, the more likely Crossfields can get its own outdoor table.
Please come along on:
Tuesday 13 November, 6.45-9pm at Deptford Lounge
Refreshments provided. Arrive by 7.45pm to vote (voters must be over 14).
If successful, the table would be situated between the ballcourt and the railway arches. The idea grew out of this year's Crossfields Festival where an indoor table was wheeled out to the Farrer lawn, and proved to be a huge success.
The outdoor table Crossfields is bidding for is made of reinforced concrete, built to withstand extreme weather conditions, constant use – and vandalism. Therefore it's a pricey £2,200!
Here's a mock-up of the table in the place it would be by the ballcourt...
There's more information about the New Cross Assembly here and you can see what projects have been previously funded here.
Win £100 worth of high street vouchers
There's also the opportunity to win £100 worth of high street vouchers by filling in the online questionnaire about local assemblies (you don't have to have attended previously but you'll have to give your name and address).
These are really cool. I have seen these in public parks before, but the tables had metal table bases. They were actually quite sturdy and held up against a lot of elements. I think they are a great thing to have available to the public.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. See you there on Wednesday evening.

ReplyDeletePhoenix, that would be great! Haven't really had time to publicise it properly, so an enthusiastic response is great to hear.
