Camden Calling
NB – the date of our AGM / community get-together has changed – it is now Tuesday 21 November (details below).
Join our leadership team
Your residents’ association is a volunteer organisation, and can only be as good as the support we receive. This year, six of the kind folk on our leadership committee have volunteered to serve another year. With one retiree during the year and John stepping down (see below), however, we’re in need of a couple of fresh new faces to help represent our Camden community. It’s not onerous – just a few hours a month – and it’s a really great way to meet local people and feel like you’re making a contribution. Email us for an informal chat if you’d like to explore the idea: [email protected]
Goodbye to John, our current Chair
We will be saying goodbye this year to John Long, our outgoing Chair, who is stepping down to concentrate on work and family. John has volunteered as a member of the CRA committee since 2019, and has been Chair for the past 18 months. In that short time, drawing on the skills of the wonderful team around him, he has re-cast the purpose and focus of the CRA – introducing our ‘Four (C)amden‘ mission – Celebrate, Connect, Contribute, Campaign. And, under his leadership, we have introduced some of our most celebrated and popular contributions to our Camden neighbourhood – the transformation of Camden Meadow (with its own committed group of over 40 local volunteers), our ‘Welcome to Camden’ initiative, the introduction of a dedicated CRA Events Coordinator to deliver a programme of great social activities for our community, and he has been the driving force behind our two fantastic street parties outside The Claremont.
A new Chair (or perhaps even co-Chairs) will be elected by the committee at its first meeting, post AGM.
