Clearing out the Meeting House ahead of contractors arriving

On Saturday 12th January, a team of hardworking volunteers from the New Unity community came together to help clear out the Newington Green Meeting House ahead of the arrival of contractors later this month.

A big thanks to the following (in no particular order) for giving up their time: Andy Pakula, Miriam Lahage, Kathryn Dodd, David Brewerton, David Bidwell, Toby Morrison, Solomon Solomon, Wayne Rees, Nene Topf, Fiona McGain, Roberta Wedge, Charlotte Barrow, Alexis Granum and John Bates.

And a big “thank you” in particular thanks to Andy and Miriam for leading from the front to keep everyone on task, fed and co-ordinated!

We’d also like to thank Wendy, David and Roberta for spending time logging and boxing up all the archive and heritage material during the week.

Here are some photos of the work in action!
