SKA Summer Picnic at Northala Fields

We are pleased to organise the first summer picnic for 2018. The details are as follows:

Date: 24-June-2018 (Sunday)

Time: 11am onwards

Location: Northala Fields

Kensington Road, Northolt, UB5 6UR

(There is a car park with lots of parking available at Northala Fields Car Park East, opposite to Smith’s Farm.)

We will get together to share food and drink, so please bring a little something to share (though not too much!). We will also have games for kids and families, and it will be great if you could bring any outdoor games kits which you may have (don’t worry if you don’t have).

It would greatly help us if we have an idea of the number of people attending the picnic. So could you please let us know if you are attending, and how many people.

If you have any questions, please contact Sunil, Pius or Loy.
