!!!Halloween!!!
For the fourth year, ERA offered local children and their families lots of Halloween fun! Craft activities (as well as Halloween refreshments) were available at Albion House in Albion Gardens on the Eastcliff. Then from 5-6pm, accompanied children went in search of Halloween treats on the Eastcliff. Groups were given a map of houses that welcomed trick or treaters. As in previous years, this was an excellent event with many ERA members giving Eastcliff's trick or treaters an exciting and spooky time, and we know that the children enjoyed it because they come every year and many dress up too!
Meetings
We hold a Public Meeting on the second Thursday of each month, at Albion House (in Albion Place).
Previous speakers have included representatives from Thanet District Council who have spoken about recycling, parks and gardens, and Pugin’s legacy in the area; our local police force who have spoken about their work and personal safety; people from local organisations such as the St John’s Ambulance Service, the Granville Cinema and Theatre, and Kent International Airport; we have also hosted debates about the former Pleasurama development ( now ‘Royal Sands’) and local consultations about the Bandstand redevelopment.
