Other community involvement
The Program of Events sets out other named individuals who have, one way or another, created opportunities for members from across the Woodberry Down community to take part in these events.
The venue for all the events is Nar Cafe in Riverside Gardens. This is a going concern, and we are grateful to Necdet, the proprietor, for making the venue available in evenings when normally it would be closed. Necdet is also a WDCO board member. Food and beverages will be available for sale on each of the evenings.
Anyone who lives on the estate, and their friends, are invited to attend.
