Group for past and present members and affiliates of the Brent Symphony Orchestra.

We rehearse on Wednesday evenings, 19:30 to 21:30 at St James Church, Sheriff Rd, West Hampstead, NW6 2AP and give 3 concerts a year.

Strings are always welcome (subject to an initial trial period). There are no formal auditions, although players need to be at least Grade 8 standard with good sight-reading skills. In order to achieve a balanced orchestra, we rotate violins between 1sts and 2nds and within the sections, therefore players should be confident playing either part. Please come along to a rehearsal or get in touch...

We meet regularly for talks, discussions, socials and outings.

Humanists assume that there is one life, and that mankind can depend only on itself. They try to follow a way of life inspired by love and guided by knowledge and to keep themselves sensitive to the wonder, beauty and cruelty of existence.

We are affiliated to the British Humanist Association and the National Secular Society

This is a residents action group to co-ordinate contributions to the debate on the replacement of NWCS with the new Paddington Academy. All residents of Maida Vale with this agenda are welcome to join. Formerly known as PAAG, this is a reformed group dealing solely with trying to get a school that works with our neighbourhood.

It will come as no surprise to you that WCC granted Planning Permission for both the Paddington Academy on Marylands Road and the Westminster Academy on Harrow Road. Over the next year, the Paddington Academy developers will be asking for permission for several other elements of the plan - details on fencing, the hours and type of community use and, probably, the return of the hideous coloured glass panels! We will keep you posted on these but in the meantime, the bad news is that the two/three year construction period started at Christmas.

The temporary classrooms are now being installed and work demolishing the nusrey and playcentre will start soon. Parking restrictions are scheduled to start for Marylands and Thorngate on the 24th of January.
