A wet beginning to the SENA (South Earlsdon Neighbourhood Association) new year, with a soggy but amiable and informative walk through the woods followed by a pleasant coffee together for the group in the warm of the City Arms. Since then, we’ve begun our planning for the year.  Here are dates so far agreed:

26 February: SENA meeting and AGM – Coventry Resource Centre for the Blind, 33 Earlsdon Avenue, 7.30pm.

5 May: Earlsdon Festival. SENA will have a stall at the festival again, where we’ll explain to interested people what we’re up to, and welcome new members.

6 May: Earlsdon Hustings. An important first for the area. SENA and NENA together are arranging an open meeting for all Earlsdon residents when the various candidates for the local city councillor’s position will be telling us what they consider to be the main issues for Earlsdon in the present and the future, and why they should be our chosen councillor.  Details about venue and timings to follow.

1 June: National Big Lunch Day, in the Spinney. More details about this later.

21 or 22 June:  Midsummer’s Walk. More details about this later.

6 September: SENA STREET SALE.

21 September: Autumnal equinox walk. More details about this later.

 Throughout the year Ray Wilson will be keeping you up to date with what is happening in the woodland project, and in particular the dates for litter picks, plantings and other relevant activities.

Have a good 2014, and we look forward to seeing you during the year.

Mike Torbe, SENA
