Wgwg eschewed their second February meeting in order to give their full attention to the Queens Parade 2nd anniversary shindig - and what a good idea that turned out to be! The whole parade was filled with enthusiastic people taking in, amongst other delights, the Encounters exhibition in the BAR Gallery whilst another exhibition in the Unlimited Print shop had some live art going on before your very eyes. There were lots of interesting things to admire and buy in Pop Up Wonderland - I bought a fab silver broach for only £8 - bargain! There was no shortage of things to see and do, in fact it was so crowded we couldn't even get into the room to hear the poetry and storytelling - that will teach us to get there earlier next time. Despite the recent weather they managed to get an almost continental vibe going, with people wondering about Walm Lane clutching glasses of wine and chatting. Add to this some great live music from Creative Cricklewood and lots of food and drink from local businesses plus the launch of a book all about the regeneration of the local area and it all added up to a great evening. Well done to everyone involved, you certainly know how to put on a party Queen Parade - can't wait for the next one :-)
