Covent Garden Community Association: Complete Annual Report 2000 2001

Covent Garden London

The heart of London's West End

30th Anniversary Events

Hopefully you were able to join us in March for 'Pure Romance from Covent Garden', a classical concert of favourite arias and duets, and, indeed, our Service of Celebration in April, which brought together locals (and ex locals) many of whom hadn't seen one another for 30 years. Both these events were held in the Actors' Church in the Piazza. Again, St Paul's (or rather its garden and the site of the original Convent Garden) will be the fitting venue for our Garden Party on 22nd September. Most of you will, I am sure, know this delightful and surprisingly quiet haven in the heart of such a bustling area. However, there are other events going on before thenÉ

The Royal Opera House plays host, throughout the summer, to a unique exhibition of colour photographs taken in the early 1970's a few months before the old Covent Garden Flower, Fruit and Vegetable Market left the area for good. A moving series of images for those of you who remember the old Market.

Then, Tea Dances. Yes, they're back! But I'm afraid it is only those of you who have attained the dignity of your senior citizenship who will be able to listen to real music - lyrics you can hear and melodies to lose yourselves in. Oh yes, and rhythms you can actually dance to!

The Neal Street Festival promises to be a real community day and an enjoyable one for the whole family, including stalls, entertainers, games, a food fayre, jumble sale and many other attractions. If you would prefer to work rather than play, perhaps you would like to help us by being a steward. At the time of writing, the dates for our talks and walks have yet to be advised, but these will run from July to October. Covent Garden is full of surprises - come and discover some of them!

A big word of thanks to the many sponsors of our 30th Anniversary events. Without their enthusiasm and support we would not have been able to enjoy what is a truly eventful year!

If you would like further information about events, please see our website or contact the office on 020 7209 1649.
