Something to Sing About ………..
Ickenham based choir, the Walbrook Singers, has teamed up with Gareth Malone from BBC2's "The Choir" to organise a free singing workshop for boys and girls aged 8-13 years. Suitable for those who have never tried singing before or for those already in a choir, this is a great chance to spend an afternoon learning from experienced choir trainers – and to have some fun.
Explore the wonderful world of choral singing with creative sessions involving movement, improvisation and singing in harmony, covering several different styles. Parents will be invited to come along at the end for an informal concert.
The workshop will be held at Bishop Ramsey Upper School on Sunday 2nd March, 2-5pm.
The workshop is free to all but places are limited so it is important to register in advance by telephoning 01895 630595, or emailing abrowning@talk21.com. Further details are available from Paul Ayres on 020 8632 1854.

If you strongly disagree with the
hap hazard parking times on Ruislip High Street and you receive a ticket
which you feel is unjust - send it back (with recorded delivery) and argue
your case, at the same time pass on your details to the Ruislip and
Northwood Gazette with your story as they are recording all the incidents
for future printing.
Car Clamping
It seems that the owners of the car park for Pets At Home and Allied Carpets down in Victoria Retail Park, South Ruislip are a bit fed up with people parking there when they are using other stores locally, and so have brought in the clampers. You have been warned!!!
Recently the Borough has received enquiries about the provision of a Re-use bank where residents can take unwanted household items that are too good to throw away. In response the Waste Division has recently installed a special Re-Use bank - sometimes referred to as a 'scrap store' - at the New Years Green Lane Civic Amenity site in Harefield. Items suitable for re-use include :-
1. Paints - full or half tins
2. Re-usable DIY materials - windows, doors, sinks, wallpapers, paint brushes, fixtures, fittings, plumbing materials
3. Hand tools
4. Chinaware and other crockery - cups, saucers, plates, mugs, serving dishes
5. Kitchen items - cutlery, pots, pans, utensils
6. Furniture - chairs, sofas, beds, stools, tables
7. Soft furnishing - rugs, curtains, cushions, bedding
8. Garden items - gardening equipment, furniture, ornaments, tools
9. Children's toys and games
10. Bicycles - children and adult sizes
11. Sports equipment - rackets, footballs, bats
12. Musical instruments
13. Mobile phones
14. Books
15. Music CDs
16. Videos
17. DVDs
18. Collectables
19. Memorabilia
Residents are invited to sort out their unwanted goods and take them up to the Re-Use bank in Harefield. The site is open 7 days a week from 8:00am - 4:00pm. Opening hours are extended to 6:00pm during British Summer Time.
Whilst you are there why not take the opportunity to browse through the items already delivered for re-use and help yourself to anything you like. However, please note that as this is a new initiative the bank may be rather empty to start with. Residents wishing to use the bank should park their cars in the main recycling area. Site staff will be on hand to answer any queries.
New facilities for recycling waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) are now available at both the New Years Green Lane Civic Amenity site in Harefield and the Victoria Road Civic Amenity site in South Ruislip. Typical WEEE items include :-
1. Large domestic applications - including fridges and freezers, cookers, dishwashers, tumble dryers etc
2. Televisions
3. Computers (residents should ensure any personal data is removed before recycling their old computers)
4. Small (mixed) WEEE including radios, hair dryers, broken electrical toys etc.
Both sites are open 7 days a week from 8:00am - 4:00pm. Opening hours are extended to 6:00pm during British Summer Time.
