April 2012 – The Pinner Association

Our President, Martin Verden, backed up by the Merrydowners, was honoured to be selected as the equerry to HRH the Duke of Edinburgh on the recent royal visit to Harrow, here at the Krishna-Avanti Primary School on 29th March. The visit was to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty’s accession to the throne.

Our Annual General Meeting will be on the 20 April at 8pm, hopefully this year we will be able to hold it in The Villager Hall instead of on Zoom. Our guest Speaker will be Mr Woolf, Head of Pinner High School.

We are always looking for new people to join the committee; irrespective of background, gender or ethnicity. Without people stepping up to the plate, we will not be able to continue. What does that mean?

No festive lights or Christmas trees,
No band concerts,
No central social media platform for local clubs and organisations
No instant advice on planning applications
No extra gardeners for the Peace Gardens or wisteria.
No donations to local organisations

You might think that you have nothing to contribute, think again. I would consider myself a generalist in all things Pinner. You might have a different perspective, ideas or way of looking at things – that’s good we need you. You don’t need to attend all meetings. Interested? Please contact Ruth Boff by phone or email [email protected].

St George’s Day Celebrations

St George’s Day was marked once again by traditional celebrations in Pinner High Street and the Wheelbarrow Race , despite last minute objections from both Harrow Council and the Police, both of whom have previously been very supportive.
