  • Watford Colosseum Management Contract Watford Borough Council
    Watford Colosseum Management Contract Watford Borough Council Direct Market Engagement Watford Colosseum Opportunity Document Watford Borough Council would like to invite suitable and experienced orgainsations, to participate in a Direct Market Engagement Exercise. This process will involve discussions regarding the proposed development works and new management contract of the council’s receiving and touring theatre called Watford Colosseum. The council have developed this Opportunity Document to provide theatre operators with some background information regarding the venue and the future building and contract plans. Introduction to Watford Watford is an urban borough in South West Hertfordshire, on the edge of the East of England region, and to the north-west of London. It covers 2,142 hectares (8.3 square miles), and is the only non-metropolitan borough wholly contained within the M25. Watford is the largest town in Hertfordshire and the centre of a sub-region serving over 500,000 people, living within a 20 minute travelling time who look to Watford as the go to place for shopping, leisure, culture and entertainment. We are also home to around 5,000 businesses and 100,000 jobs. This brings an amazing energy to the borough Whilst it does not have a common boundary with London, in terms of its regional profile and its young and diverse population (currently circa 96,700 - Office for National Statistics (ONS): 2017 mid-year estimate), the borough has much in common with the energy and dynamism of the capital. However, one of Watford’s key strengths is that retains its own strong identity, with a long and varied history as a market town and a much-loved premier league football team.

  • Carpenders Park and South Oxhey (Again Watch for Details)
    CPSO METHODIST CHURCH NEWSLETTER Lent/Easter 2020 Minister’s Letter – Journey into Lent Our Lent journey begins! We make our way with Jesus towards Jerusalem and the Cross. This year we are exploring that journey and the places en-route through our Lent Group “Places on the Way”. We are stopping off at a village wedding in Cana, climbing new heights at the mount of Transfiguration, finishing up at the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem as Jesus makes his way to Golgotha. We will be exploring what the journey meant to Jesus and the journey we make this Lent. (See later in the newsletter for details) Following on from the soap cross, this Lent I am asking for you to make pom- poms – brown wool pom-poms of various sizes and shades of brown. Make as many as you can during the six weeks of Lent and then join the team putting the cross together. (More information to follow) Maundy Thursday we are still going to gather for a shared meal and worship in the small hall at Bushey and Oxhey Church but this year it will be a ‘bring & share’ supper (details to follow). Finally, Good Friday, as churches together in Bushey and Oxhey, this year we are trying something slightly different. During Passiontide you will be asked to take some purple ribbons and tie them in prominent places (purple being a symbol of the passion). We will gather outside St. Andrews at 9.30am for a short act of worship before walking (or driving) down to the small park opposite St Peter’s for another short reflection.
