Well as many of you may have heard by email (maybe 20 or 30 times over…), the Bennetts had a wee break last week (although a lot of it was spent looking at nice boats that would look very well in the TQ.  You can take the boy out of The Dock, but…)

So, straight back to the exciting life of Dock-World!  This coming Saturday, we’re holding the next ‘Meet the Neighbours’ event for the emerging TQ community.  This time it’s going to take the shape of a deckchair cafe serving (free!) Saturday brunch – bagels, croissants and top-notch coffee – from one of the empty units at the base of the Arc apartments.  Details will follow later in the week – at this stage I’m looking for volunteers – anyone who can help out on Friday morning (with a leaflet drop) or Saturday morning (with setting up and running the event).

As ample reward, you’ll get a top-notch breakfast for free, meet some fantastic people, and be part of building a brand-new community – not something you get to do every day!  You might even be interested in the important job of ‘Lone Newspaper Reader’.  At our brainstorm a few weeks ago, someone mentioned how important it is, when you walk into a cafe full of strangers, to know that it’s OK to be on your own – to be able to sit and read the paper and not feel isolated or awkward.  So we need a ‘Lone Newspaper Reader’ to do just that in the Deckchair Cafe to set the example!

If you’re interested in this or any other role in the proceedings – it would be great to hear from you!
