Hello!

We are from a charity called Kazzum – a young people theatre company – based in Tower Hamlets. In the end of January we will have our new show The Girl Who in Spitalfields Market, and we would like to ask for your assistance by promoting and send out information about our show. We hope you would like to help us. Thank you.

Information about The Girl Who….

Location Theatre for 11-16 year olds

Join us on a theatrical walking tour of Spitalfields, east London, that takes an unexpected turn… Two different worlds collide as you discover secret buildings, explore sensory installations, and meet strange characters as the performance unfolds. So if you have over-indulge over the festive season is our fantastic new show The Girl Who… just the thing for the post-Christmas slump. You can burn off all those extra calories by joining us on a fast-paced promenade performance around the streets, markets and old buildings of Spitalfields!

Inspired by Kazzum’s work with young refugees in London, The Girl Who…explores themes of belonging, memory and conformity, placing the audience in the driving seat for a 90 minute immersive and interactive adventure.
The Girl Who… explores the problem of how we can exist in a world when we don’t feel a part of it.

Performance dates: Mon 30 January to Fri 10 February 2012 (Mon-Fri only).
Performances times: 10.30 and 13.30 at Spitalfields Market

About Kazzum

Kazzum (pronounced ka-ZOOM) is a theatre company dedicated to producing fresh, relevant theatrical experiences for young audiences up to the age of 16. We put on a wide range of very different shows and spectacles with one thing in common – we want to entertain our audiences, and at the same time inspire them and fire their imaginations.
Kazzum’s performances do not fit the classic idea of “children’s theatre”. We offer young audiences fully-fledged “grown-up” theatre that deals with complex ideas and mature themes, produced in a way that is accessible without being simplistic. Our work doesn’t set out to explore issues but, like all good theatre, it is intended to make the audience think.
We produce outdoor family shows for children up to the age of eight, and more grown-up site specific shows for young people aged ten and upwards. For over twenty years we have been engaging and stimulating young people with work that we hope will create a lasting love of theatre and an understanding of its value.

We hope to see you soon,

Best wishes from Kazzum

MENAGERIE AT THE RECTORY

A collection of animal paintings, prints & sculpture

17 January – 09 March

Private Views: Tues 17 Jan 6-8pm & Sun 22 Jan 2-4pm

The decision came after strong representations from the Police, Council Officers and local residents, of whom about 30 were present.

However Public Life are likely to appeal.

Subject: Public Life licence review

As you may have heard there have been developments concerning Public Life recently. There was a large police raid a week before Christmas during which a significant quantity of drugs were found and several people arrested including, I believe, some members of staff. The police then applied for, and obtained, an immediate suspension of their licence pending a full review. This review has been combined with the one that several local residents recently called and in support of which many local people signed a petition.

The review is due to take place at 2pm on Monday 16th January at LBTH offices at Mulberry Place, E14. The more people that attend, the better will be the chances of getting their licence permanently revoked. There will certainly be a group of residents attending from our end of Fournier Street but it would really help if other local people could attend too.  There will probably be some space in cars if people need transport and if not, there will be a group travelling on public transport which anyone is welcome to join. If people want more details on this, or the review, they are very welcome to contact me.

Many thanks for your help.

Subject: Licence Application for 76 Commercial Street

Dear Sirs,

Application for a premises Licence for 76 Commercial Street, London E1, formerly Dino’s Restaurant

At a special meeting of the Committee of the Spitalfields Society last night in relation to the above application it was decided to write a message of support for the continued use of the premises as a restaurant serving alcohol, bearing in  mind that it replaces Dino’s restaurant, which also had a licence for ‘on sale’ alcohol until very recently when it was unfortunately surrendered.  It was the committee’s view that a high-quality new restaurant such as number 76 would be an enhancement to that section of Commercial Street, complimenting other high-end restaurants further up the street and improving the environment in what is now a relatively dead, only sparsely residential area.  We would, however, ask for some modification of the opening hours to bring them into line with other restaurants operating in Commercial Street. 

And we would oppose the granting of an off-licence in the light of existing problems with alcohol and street-drinking in Spitalfields.

Please note that Philip Vracas, who would be a licensee of number 76 and who is the Treasurer of the Society, was not present at last night’s meeting and had no part in the discussion or vote.

Yours sincerely,

Sandy Critchley
Vice-Chairman, Spitalfields Society
14 Wilkes Street
London E1 6QF”

Recycle your Christmas tree

Each year, several hundred Christmas trees are collected for recycling in the borough and start a whole new life as compost. If you would like to give your Christmas tree a happy ending simply contact your housing manager for arrangements if you live in a block of flats or put your tree out at the boundary of your property on your normal garden waste collection day if you live in a house. Collections will take place in January, between Monday 2 and Friday 20.

Please put out real Christmas trees only and make sure they are free of pots, soil and decorations as these do not compost down.

Matt is happy to assume that role for Fournier Street, and Nicholas is will do Princelet Street. 

Please could we have volunteers for Hanbury and Wilkes Streets? 

It will be a low key institution as much of what a neighbourhood watch does we already do, but it covers that base as far as council and police are concerned. The only responsibility for a rep will be to collect names, numbers, emails and car registration numbers for those who wish to participate, and those details are shared within that each particular street. It isn’t intended to have meetings, newsletters etc unless they are required and on an ad hoc basis.
