Thank you one and all!

26 October, 2026 Kris Inglis

The FSP Fundraising Quiz on 9 October raised the impressive amount of £531.50, a combination of ticket sales and raffle takings. Julie and Rob of the Committee did a great job of planning and whipping up the raffle prizes.

We would like to extend special thanks to Kate Halpin, our Very Able Quiz Presenter, for organising the rounds, scoring and providing several bonus prizes to keep the winners and losers sweet. Questions ranged from dog breed identification to a fiendishly tricky music intro round.

We would also like to thank our partners at Shrewsbury House who generously gave us the library rent-free in exchange for all the bar takings on the night. It was a really fun night of ‘community spirit’ – which, along with the funds, will benefit the Shrewsbury Park we all share.

Thank you for supporting this and hope to see you at a future activity – AND the AGM coming in January.

Gazebos going up, what happened next on 20 July??

3 August, 2025 Kris Inglis

The Picnic in the Park ENCORE came alive, despite the cloud and occasional drizzle, thanks to a wonderful surge of volunteers from FSP membership and friends and relations. The Pearly King and Queens stepped up to the challenge with their portable power and bags of enthusiasm to kick off despite our loss of power source.

The Pearlys were joined by our Mayor Linda Bird, Good Sport of the Year. And there was a special written piece by Blossom and Nola. Mark and the Imposters along with Pytchwood provided the music with gusto. (a member who wishes to remain nameless gained us another hour and a half with portable battery.)

Many thanks to our Safer Neighbourhood team, our FSP wildlife supporters, Greenpeace, Green Goddess pub, Shrewsbury House, Back-a-Yard Grill, Ice Cream world, Lalu Catering, Wei’s Coffee, Mamas Little Rum Cakes and the Mobile Pizza Kitchen.

The crafts and community stalls always bring a splash of variety to the Festival, thank you for your support.

The presence of Greenwich Council members Sandra Bauer, Tamasin Rhymes and Raja Zeeshan was greatly appreciated as they mingled with constituents.

What ultimately made the day was the relaxed and neighbourly spirit of all who came by, enjoying the best of Shrewsbury Park.
