8. Love Shopping in Harlesden
As discussed at our last meeting, we should promote the shops in Harlesden by asking our
members to shop and carry out a survey, to attract more involvement in the Harlesden Town
Team campaign, and seek sponsorship and promotion of the love Harlesden Event, We will be having an award ceremony and we have the 1st draft of the promotion event.
The plan is to form a Harlesden Faith choir which is in progress; we are looking to have 4
sections, leading on one song each, with the director of music at John Kebel schools
coordinating the event. Please see minutes for more details. At present, we have methodist church, romanian, brazilian choir and we will form a gospel choir. Auditions and meetings will be held to plan the choirs. The Brent borough completion final will be held at the Brent Town Hall.
10. Activities
At present we are looking at using all the resources in Harlesden town centre. This will
include church halls and any available space. We need to coordinate all activities, to make
sure that are being use for the best result of the community. On Monday the 9th Jan we will
ask our members to priotise this and we will lead on the outcome. Please see the draft of the consultation from our members. The activities will be overseen by the Chairman and Julia and the subcommittee. The HTT advisory team has got a verbal agreement with the
churches to let us gain access to their halls one day a week. We have surveyed the JKT team, Newham school council and the senior team and their proposal, and this will be discussed at our next general meeting.
