The first session occurred on the afternoon of Wednesday 3rd May. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon and we had purchased some more toys and games for the children. A splendid tea for both children and adults was served. The garden also looked lovely; the lawn having been recently mowed and some new plants on show.

We had the pleasure of the company of 12 children and hope they will return next week with their friends. They all thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and will spread the word both among mothers in the local schools and in the Army family quarters. A big thank you to Adam Greenfield, Stuart Deakin and Andy Ward who dropped by from the Barracks to see how we were getting on.

Remember every Wednesday from now onwards you will be welcome at the Church between 3.30pm and 6.00pm for free tea and refreshments and some local chat!

St George's Garrison Church in Woolwich, with its modern canopy roof and stunning mosaics, is both an evocative ruin and a contemporary space. Designed by Thomas H Wyatt in an Italian-Romanesque style, the Church was built between 1862-63 to serve the Royal Artillery in Woolwich. Today it is run by a local group, the Woolwich Garrison Church Trust who are committed to making it available for all to visit and enjoy. Directly opposite the Barracks in Woolwich, South East London, come and enjoy its beauty and peaceful garden.
