The pavillion at North Acton Playing Fields is due to re-open fairly soon and Acton Community Forum, who are running it, are looking for groups (below is the text of an email from them). They might be interested in accommodating existing groups. No stairs and probably plently of room for buggies. North Acton Pavilion Taster workshop proposals Acton Community Forum is delighted to be working in partnership with Ealing Council and West Acton Residents Association to bring life to the North Acton Pavilion, which has been closed for several years. The Pavilion is desperately in need of activities to serve the local neighbourhood and research is currently underway identifying what residents would like to see available.  So far, a wide range of activities and interests have been identified including those focusing on health & well-being, arts & crafts, sports, IT, recreational and social activities.  There is keen interest for opportunities for people of all ages including for parent & toddler sessions, play scheme, youth project, adult and older peoples activities, as well as sessions for families across the generations. Acton Community Forum has taken on the Pavilion and we are developing a programme of activities based on these identified interests.  We are also keen to work with local community organisations in delivering these activities.  On that note, we are asking those that are interested in running sessions from the Pavilion to provide us with an expression of interest, outlining the project including aims, target audience, duration, number of sessions, and costs.  We expect to begin with taster sessions to gauge interest and uptake, with a view to developing these into self-sustaining projects charging a nominal contribution from participants to cover venue and staff costs.  The final refurbishment of the Pavilion is currently underway and we expect the work to be completed by April when a relaunch is planned.  This will be an opportunity for projects and participants to come together, enjoy tasters and sign up for sessions.  Please let us know if and how you would be interested in getting involved.
