<p>Willesden Fruit Harvesters hosted a Chutney Workshop in October to give the chutney time to be ready for the Christmas holidays. I held the workshop at my house and Vendy led things.

<p>Mairin, Lucy and Daphne joined us. We peeled, cored and chopped apples we'd picked from local trees, including from the Big Pick at Fryent Country Park, as well as made an apple crumble that baked while the chutney was simmering away. The resulting chutney tasted amazing, but took much longer to make than anticipated, so it ended up being quite a late evening. Biscuits and tea helped carry us through, as well as the slice of crumble with custard at the end. We really appreciate the ladies for hanging in there. Lesson learned that chutney is much better for weekend workshops!</p>
<p>We ended up making about 25 jars of varying sizes. Participants each got 2 plus first dibs on purchasing extra, and we sold the rest at the Gladstone Park Primary School Market.</p>
<p>Vendy and I had a great time and really enjoyed meeting and sharing the evening with the attendees. Look out for more workshops in 2017.</p>

<p></p> Linking Community Groups - Willesden Green Town Teamtag:ttkensaltokilburn.ning.com,2014-11-25:3499303:Topic:737102014-11-25T13:34:43.157ZMichelle Rossihttp://ttkensaltokilburn.ning.com/profile/MichelleRossi
<p>I just found out about a community group that's been around since autumn 2012. I think it'd be great if Transition Willesden worked with the Willesden Green Team to see how we could partner and maximize our collective abilities and impact.</p>
<p>Check out their website: <a href="http://willesdengreenteam.co.uk/">http://willesdengreenteam.co.uk/</a></p>

<p>I've sent them an email to sign myself up and hope to attend their next meeting if I'm able. They recently had an event 15th Nov. where they unveiled that amazing cat mosiac opposite the Willesden Green tube station. Their next group meeting isn't listed, but I will pass along if I learn when it is.</p>
<p>As someone fairly new to Willesden Green community groups, I think an important thing we can do to make sure folks are aware of these groups, and also to ensure groups with similar aims aren't working separately or at cross-purposes, is to have some sort of central hub which links all the various groups together. I know Transition Willesden acts as somewhat of a hub, but I'm wondering if the Town Team might as well, or could be linked with Transition Willesden. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Are there any links between the two already? Do the groups ever join together? If anyone on this site is involved with the Town Team, please also let me know. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks so much!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
