Good news, the planning application to knock down West House Lodge and build flats has been refused. As yet we don’t have the full reason but will publish this later.
A big “thank you” goes to everyone who took the time to object.

St George’s Day Celebrations – Timetable
Film Crew comes to Pinner
Waxwell Lane Car Park will be closed to the public next week as it is being used as a film compound.
The film is called ‘Blinded by the Light’ and is based on a book ‘Greetings from Bury Park’ written by Sarfraz Mansoor.
Waxwell Lane will also have buses shuttling the crew etc. to the location so expect more traffic.
You are being advised to park in Chapel Lane Car Park.
Mobile Friendly Website!
Good news. Having posted a selection of events on the new notice board in the High Street Gardens, I thought I should try and get our website mobile friendly so that you can check out “What’s on” from your mobile phone.
We now have a mobile friendly website.
If you find anything wrong – please email me on [email protected] or leave a comment. I will do my best to sort out the issue.
I know this works with Android phones as that is what I have tested it on.
New Notice Board
Pinner and Northwood Business Club have kindly let Pinner Association have space on their Bridge Street Gardens notice board. One of the spaces will be allocated to “What’s On “with a QR Code directing you to the Pinner Association Events page. It is envisaged that this will be changed about every 3 months.
The plan is to ensure that the key events for organisations in Pinner are displayed and to rotate other clubs and societies events (sorry, we can’t display everything).
The other space will be utilised for Pinner Association information/news & our events.
Many thanks to Pinner & Northwood Business Club for agreeing to this.
St George’s Day Celebrations – An update from Pinner Rotary Club!
Beware of dragons and wheelbarrows! On Sunday 22nd April, Pinner will be celebrating St. George, slayer of dragons and Patron Saint of England. Highlight of the day will be “Ye Olde” Wheelbarrow Race, hurtling through the streets at 3pm. A unique Pinner event and a sight not to be missed. Radio Harrow will be live on air providing race commentary and interviews.
The High Street will be closed to traffic and transformed into a family friendly venue with entertainment for everyone, including folk dancers English Miscellany, Punch and Judy, local band Simply Gray, a petting farm, face painting, balloon modelling, children’s rides, plus food stalls and much more.
The day begins at noon with bell ringing in the Parish Church, followed at 1pm by the Mayor of Harrow and St. George on his trusty steed leading the parade of District Scouts up the High Street to the War Memorial where they will renew their Promise. 
Event leader, Steve Morrisby, said: “Building on the success of last year, we continue to add to the variety and quality of entertainment on offer. We encourage local residents of all ages to come and celebrate St. George, and enjoy being part of the Pinner community.”
The celebration is organised by the Rotary Club of Pinner and sponsored by Gibbs Gillespie Estate Agents. For more information go to www.pinnerrotary.org.uk.

Thanks to all of you who shopped in Tesco’s, persuaded the check-out folk to give you as many blue tokens as possible, and popped said tokens into the FoPVG ‘box’.
Extra thanks to project-manager Antonia Savvides for organising everything.
Extra extra thanks to Antonia and her mother-in-law for shopping like there’s no tomorrow. Absolutely outstanding performance as I’m sure you’ll agree!

Annual Wheelbarrow Race – Volunteers Needed!
In case you are wondering, it’s not to take part in the wheelbarrow race but to help with stewarding! This is for 22 April.
For health and safety reasons, they need to have approximately 16 stewards for the Wheel Barrow Race and the Pinner Rotary Club can provide about 10 of these. So they need about 6 more for the duration of the race.
Basically all they need is to be able-bodied and to be available for 25 minutes from 2:30 to 3:15 pm. Plus you will get a great view of the race.
