Wrablers express their support and love for the Cricklewood Library project. Big love for the books.
CrickFest 2017
We had such a fantastic time at this year’s CrickFest at the weekend. We met loads of lovely new people, several of whom have volunteered to help with our campaign – take a bow, Dee, Gillian, Bernette and Nora.
We also raised over £130 in donations, and loads of you promised to pledge support for our crowdfunding bid at Spacehive, so it was a very successful day.
Hats off to Marie, Danny, Angela, Anne, Osita and the rest of the team who made it such fun and entertaining day.
