Celebrate 2010 With A Curry For Carnival Bridge

A Happy New Year to all our readers!

To celebrate 2010 the Fleet Pond Society invite you to attend the hottest event of the year.

Blow away the January blues and banish those winter chills, by enjoying a delicious curry and helping us raise funds to buy a brand new Carnival Bridge.

The current bridge is in urgent need of replacing and we are looking to raise around £12,000 through grants and fund-raising in order to buy a new one.

For only £15 per person, enjoy a delicious meal of starters, main courses, rice & naans chosen specially by the Gulshan’s own Mr. Chowdhury.

Uncategorized

The deadline for this year’s FPS Photography Competition is fast approaching – 31 December 2009.

The recent onset of snow (see above and below) may provide some excellent opportunities for superb and competition-winning entries!

Tip: Remember when you are having the digital photographs printed consider the aspect ratio, especially if you are printing 6×4. Further information can be found here and here.

Please note that this year’s competition categories are: Work or Play, Sunrise or Sunset and Birds.

Important update: We are considering producing a Fleet Pond calendar and Christmas cards, for sale next year. If you have some winter scenes that you’d like to be considered for possible use, we’d be delighted to receive them – please forward them to the same address as the competition (details above).
