Join us for the much-anticipated Formosa Wine Tasting on Saturday, 30th August, from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
Enjoy an afternoon of flavour and fun as The Winery (Clifton Road) presents six exquisite wines to sample, followed by a full glass of your favourite. To complement the tasting, cheese and wine will be provided, and residents are warmly encouraged to bring along their own picnic.
This event is generously sponsored by Savills Estate Agents (Maida Vale office).

Westminster City Council is proposing to introduce a contra-flow system for cyclists on a series of one-way streets in the Borough, including Castellain Road between Formosa Street & Lauderdale Road. Residents have expressed concern that allowing cyclists to ride against the direction of traffic will be confusing & potentially downright dangerous, particularly at the busy junction with Sutherland Avenue, & may end up diminishing the availability of parking spaces.
Comments or objections should be sent to tmo.westminster@wsp.com quoting reference 8139/HWB by July 30th.
Sky-high temperatures at this year's Party on June 28th failed to sap the energy of the scores of youngsters who turned out over the course of the afternoon (even if some of the adults appeared to be flagging!). As well as the ever-popular bouncy castle they enjoyed other perennial favourites such as pony rides & Mikey the Magician:
Refreshments were provided as ever by Raimondo with his ice cream van -- when asked how long he'd been a fixture at the event he replied: "Not long: 39 years" -- & by a new-comer to the scene, Pizza Post, who stepped in at the last minute & enjoyed a very busy day with more than a hundred pizzas sold:
There was also brisk trade at the stall manned by our generous sponsors, Your Dental Wellness, who opened their practice in Clifton Road in March. Their offering of sugar-free lemonade went down particularly well as temperatures soared:
Our thanks to them & also to our roving photographer Cheryl Prax, a very small selection of whose pictures I am including here. Look out for a lot more about the Summer Party in the Autumn edition of the Newsletter, due out at the beginning of October!
