LATEST EVENTS/MEETINGS
AN AFTERNOON WITH JAZZ AND HUMOROUS MAGIC. You are invited to join us on Saturday 16th January 2010 from 1.30pm - 4.30pm at the Ann Owens Centre, Oak Lane, East Finchley, N2 8LT. Admission by ticket only at a cost of £6.00 which can be obtained by telephoning Dulcie on 020 8205 7868. Includes entertainment, refreshments, transport and free raffle. Some people have found transport a problem so we have arranged two community buses, one from Tesco at Burnt Oak and the other from the Odeon at Barnet, also stopping at Tally Ho, North Finchley. We could also arrange a pick up point at Hendon if required. Let us know if that helps. Contact Dulcie 020 8205 7868 or Sue 020 8447 0379.
GREAT NEWS. Barnet's Warden plan is thrown out by Judge. The Judge ruled that Barnet Council could not scrap its sheltered warden scheme. He found that Barnet Council had failed to follow its own equality scheme and comply with the Disability Discrimination act when consulting disabled residents and should have treated them more favourably than other persons. The council has already announced its intention to appeal the decision.
