We had our AGM today which was a great success. A good cross-section of activists came along to discuss our events over the past year, to assess where we are and where we want to go from here.
There was a lot of enthusiasm for developing more projects - the most popular one seemed to be the relaunch of the Byker Phoenix community newspaper so we will progress with this as a matter of priority as both a printed newspaper and as an online magazine.
We want to continue with our environmental projects around the estate and met with Colin Riley, The Byker Housing Manager, last week to progress ideas to improve Raby Street.
Another popular idea is a regular lawn bowls event at Headlam Street - this can happen again when the season starts in May 2011.
There was a call for a social space to be open daily for people to drop in and socialise. There were a few ideas where this could be.
So keep watching this space for exciting things happening around the estate. The momentum is building! See you here soon.
