    Hello! March is coming in like a lion, and we at Chiswick Pier Trust have a roaring programme for you this month. First off, if you want to go on the Mothering Sunday Brunch Cruise on the 22nd March please do book your tickets as they are selling fast. And for those that are concerned - should it be necessary to cancel events due to reasons beyond our control we will offer a full refund, so please continue early booking so we can plan catering numbers. Secondly, the Boat Race is taking place on 29th March. REMEMBER clocks go forward on that morning, so we’ll have an extra hour of very welcome light, and the boat races will be ‘later’ in the day. Also, Hammersmith Bridge will be closed to pedestrians for the race so Chiswick Pier is a fantastic alternative viewing point. Finally, for our last Talk by the Thames until the autumn, we have best-selling author of the Rivers of London series, Ben Aaronovitch, joining us for an interview on the 31st March. His latest book, False Values, was published last month and already is No 6 on the Sunday Times bestseller list, and Waterstones will be on hand selling copies of this, and his other books. Bestselling author Ben Aaronovitch will be speaking about False Value, his hugely anticipated new book in the River of London series. Ben Aaronovitch will be coming to Chiswick Pier Trust on Tuesday 31st March to talk about his hotly anticipated new book in the Rivers of London series – False Value - which is already Number 6 on the Sunday Times bestseller list.

Bring your friends along and try it out for the first time on June 3rd or come alone and make new friends. The council have taken it upon themselves to put free hanging baskets in each village to complement the Rugby World Cup. Baskets will be planted in World Cup colours - blue, pink and white. We will get 50 placed in the High Street, Broad Street, Victoria Road and Station Road from May-October. We will get 16 baskets in the winter. The Landmark Arts Centre is celebrating its 20th anniversary in November by installing 5 decorative panels telling the history of the building. The Society has donated £500 towards the £2,000 needed for the task. The vinyl panels put up by LBRuT to conceal the derelict Bottoms Up site in the Causeway have been removed as the site is being refurbished at long last.
