Who we are
In
2005 a small group of residents gradually got together and formed the
Yardy Events Crew. We have
been organizing events in our free time to bring the people of London
Yard together to socialize and enjoy
the estate and promote a sense
of community where we live.

excited to announce the new third and fourth members of the crew are:

The Volunteers
We were
blown away by the residents’ response to our recent Volunteers
Evening. The Crew will now supported by around 15 volunteers from the
London Yard, who will help make our events even more successful.
What we’ve done so far:
We
had some great events so far, in 2006 we have hosted:
- Halloween
and Guy Fawkes Night.
- Thames
River Cruise from Greenwich in September.
- Yardy Events Volunteer’s’ Open Evening in July;
- ‘Mid
Summer BBQ and Historic Walk of the Island in June;
- ‘Easter
Treasure Hunt’ around the Estate in April
And
in 2005 we hosted:
- ‘Eastern
Delight Christmas Party’ at our very own Memsaheb Restaurant;
- ‘Halloween
Yardy Party’ at the Pond;
- ‘End
of summer BBQ’ on the lawns;
We
have really enjoyed putting on the events, and especially enjoyed the
company of our neighbours (and now friends) at these gatherings. Photos
of these events.

you would like to volunteer and support the Crew putting on events, or
