Bring-A-Dish
April 2007
On the last Saturday of each month, this time the 28th of April
2007, everyone is warmly invited to come and enjoy the warmth of
an open fire place, roasting vegetarian & non vegetarian BBQ
contributions whilst deepening conversations and friendships,
widening cultural contacts & information by sharing food,
laughter and time to play and listen to the live music & lyrical
contributions.
CCDNs new chair Amber K Leafe said:
"The March Bring A Dish was attended by 250 people from
diverse ethnicities, cultures and faiths - who actively
tasted the delicious food, participated in the Drumming &
Dance Circle's & listened to the tunes of
Native American band "Native Soul" with traditional song,
dance, instruments & tribal wear"
CCDNs Finance Director Mehrdad Khallaghi added: "About 150 CCDN
members also voted in support of 12 individuals of which we wish
to congratulate the 9 successful candidates who were successful
in receiving up to £750 in Start Up Funding in support of their
development of locally based new enterprises."

The April Bring A Dish featured
Dr Wottrich, 'Spoken Word' poet
With varied stylistic and lyrical influences, he
has created a unique style and point of view,
using poetry as a way of expressing aspects of
himself and his own interpretations of the world.
Through both comedy and satire, he finds that he can communicate
his opinions in a way that is fun and thought provoking.
As a result of performing in a range of
different venues, he adapts his delivery
endeavors to appeal to both adults and
children, and intend
on dispelling the myths of 'hip hop being noise'
and 'poetry being boring'.

No place for M.C.'s
I haven't had a hard life, these streets aint' that mean
I.. don't look outside at night and HATE what I see
But... sometimes this is kinda' tricky for me
Coz I'm well into hip hop, yeah I like to M.C.
I drop it from the top, n' try n' spit what I see
But... lately I've been having difficulties
coz' all I see are chip shops n' small village greens
The nearest to mis-conduct that I'VE ever seen
Is watchin' kids get mucked up on CIDER n' weed
N' drivin' in their Novas, ridin' well over speed
As they're Screamin' "PULL ME OVER" with no sign of the police
Without many exceptions, there's no end to the peace!
I think it's time to accept there ain't a place for M.C.'s
In quiet, well kept, quaint little places like these.
