Following a discussion about the design for the Harringay Bridge Banner (in what became the 7th most popular discussion ever on HoL), local artist Rachel Lillie offered to lead a community project to design a banner. This was knocked back by the Council. So Rachel suggested getting local people together to make a banner that would at least represent a local effort at depicting our community and show the sort of thing that could have been done if the Council were more receptive.
She organised an opportunity for folks to get together in Finsbury Park a couple of weeks ago. Disappointingly no one turned up. I went along but got there too late.
But Rachel's not let go and she's trying again. She's putting a huge amount of effort, even putting together little banner making kits and putting them through people's doors:
I think what Rachel's doing is great and would love to see her getting support with the idea. I'm working with the kit that Rachel put through my door the other day with my partner. I'll post a picture of our effort when its done for you all to laugh at. (It will I'm quite sure be risible).

Oh yes please, give a pack to Edi. Thank you, we love craft projects!
For some reason Rachel, The Camden People has picked up your story in their daily paper-li 'newspaper' - just over half-way down in a place of honour indeed!
