Enfield Message Board: Knowhere Guide

nd other things, completely free of charge. If you like getting something for nothing then this is the community for you! You don't have to give to get. It doesn't get any greener than this!

Once you've joined you can offer things to other members free of charge or you can ask for things you want by posting a WANTED ad.

The Freecycle Network™ is made up of 4,612 groups with 5,899,000 members across the globe (And counting). It's a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in their own towns. It's all about reuse and keeping good stuff out of landfills.

Each local group is moderated by a local volunteer (them's good people). Membership is free. To sign up, you will need to register with Yahoo.co.uk who fund our website. Once you have your Yahoo ID go to freecycle.org and register using your ID and password. You'll get a confirmation email, just click on the link and it will take you back to the website.

Where you can check out messages from members who are offering items from White Goods to Garden forks free of charge you just have to ask if you can have an item that is being offered by scrolling down the page and hit the 'REPLY' button and your request will go directly to the owner.

It's up to them if they want you or someone else to have it but you can always post a 'Wanted' ad for what your looking for! So long as it's free and legal you can post to offer or ask for virtually anything from a saxaphone to a laptop and anything inbetween. You may not post for items to sell on for profit!

The main goal is to stop good stuff going to landfill. You can even post offering your broken washing machine then post a wanted ad for a new one, how cool is that?

If you'd like to catch up with the Enfield branch moderators we'll be at the Enfield Homes Community Festival being held on Sunday 19th Oct from 1-5pm. There will be tons of stuff for everyone to enjoy like free entertainments bouncy castles free face painting for the kids and a food village (Weather permitting)

Don't worry if it's

Sydney Road	by Dave Tapsell (Member 10164757) on 1-Nov-2011
Does anyone have any photographs of the old Victorian houses in Sydney Road in the Town, before they were demolished in the 1960s or '70s to make way for the building of the Gas Board office block. We lived at No. 24, on the east side of Sydney Road, but moved to Winchmore Hill in 1949 — and I'm keen to find any pictures of those old houses. My email is davetapsell[at]yahoo.co.uk Reply

Does anyone here have any info on John Christopher Robert Oliveria, b. 1943 in Aylesbury, raised at St. Joseph's Home, Holtwhite Hill, Enfield? I am his cousin and am also in contact with his brother, Rupert, who went to NSW in 1952 as a Child Migrant - the boys were separated at the port where JCR was ill and supposedly being taken to the ship's infirmary.
