Sherwood Rise Residents Association (SRRA)
This is an open meeting to any one who lives in Forest Fields, New Basford, Carrington and surrounding areas. The Residents Association plans the Stuff of Life Festival on Hedley Villas Park, the Winter Gathering in December & other activities.
The purpose of the Residents Association is to also offer people the space to share community concerns, build community relationships and offer informal friendship as people who live in the same neighbourhoods.
Having Sumac as an accessible venue will I hope encourage more local people to come along.
There will be tea and cake and samosas!
