Transition Leytonstone’s next event…
The Green Winterfaith Festival
Saturday 5th February, 2.30 – 10 pm
Sunday 6th February, 3 – 8 pm
The Epicentre, West Street, E11
In partnership with Sacred Roots, an organisation working to foster understanding and co-operation between people of different faiths, we have an exciting and varied programme for this two-day event. We have combined Transition’s winter food event with a celebration of food from different cultures, and added music, poetry, story-telling, workshops, stalls and a film: A Farm for the Future.
We have some wonderful speakers, including Polly Higgins, known as ‘The Planet’s Lawyer’, and Jagdeesh Singh from the Sikh Environment Network. Anton Rosenfeld from Garden Organic will talk about growing ‘exotic’ vegetables in the UK. It’s not all carrots and parsnips!
There will be workshops for children and adults, seed-sowing for all, and a chance to learn about different food choices and traditions.
Wanstead Women’s Institute are holding a quiz evening…
Where: St. Andrew’s Church Hall
When: Saturday 5th March 2011 at 7:30pm (doors open at 7:00pm)
ALL WELCOME!
Tickets £10 including a Curry Supper (please bring your own drinks).

We’re on the lookout for pictures of the 2010 Leytonstone Festival. With so many varied events this year, there were plenty of fantastic photo opportunites.
If you took a great picture of any of the festival events, please send them to us at events@leytonstoneresidents.org.uk.
In September we’ll put the best ones we receive to a vote, with prizes awarded to the winners.
Just to let everyone know about a few of the events we are planning for this year; first off in July we will be having a photographic competition so get your cameras out for the Leytonstone Festival (15th – 25th July) and get snapping.
If you’re green fingered and have a fantastic flowerbed, lush green lawn or magnificent magnolia then “L.A.R.A. in Bloom” is the event for you - our panel of judges will be looking for top floral displays and the perfect front garden.
In September we hope to have something for all the quiz addicts and a further historical walk is planned for October.
For those who want to keep fit and have fun we are hoping to organise a regular badminton night at Leytonstone School sports hall.
