Subject: Events in April and May
Dear Friends,
Here are some dates for your diaries.
TED BAKER PUBLIC EXHIBITION, 20TH AND 22ND APRIL
This is another chance to find out what might be happening on the site of the Big Ugly Brown Building on St Pancras Way. This has a long waterfront with opportunities to interact with the canal, but if we do not get involved then it could end up as another shaded precinct.
CELEBRATING CRYSTAL HALE, 23RD APRIL
Islington Boat Club is hosting an open day at City Road Basin to celebrate the achievements of Crystal Hale, who campaigned against plans to close the basin.

FRIENDS OF REGENT'S CANAL DROP-IN SESSION, 3RD MAY
On Wednesday 3rd May at 7pm we will be holding an informal drop-in session at the Commissary Bar in Holborn Studios. (49/50 Eagle Wharf Road, N1 7ED). Please come along to this social occasion if you are interested in volunteering or in finding out what is happening this year, if you want to publicise any activities or if you simply want to meet other canal supporters.
Please contact me if you need further details about any of these events.
Best wishes,
