Open Coffee Morning and Environment Committee Members Surgery @ Highgate Society
Dec 5 @ 10:30 am – 12:00 pm
Highgate councillors’ surgery @ Jacksons Lane
Dec 5 @ 11:00 am – 12:00 pm

Highgate councillors hold a surgery at Jacksons Lane on the 1st and 3rd Saturday mornings, and at the HLSI (Highgate Literary and Scientific Society, South Grove, Pond Square) on the 2nd and 4th Saturday mornings. There is no surgery on 5th Saturdays.

Councillors’ surgeries provide the opportunity for a constituent to meet one of his/her councillors face-to-face. The purpose is usually to discuss and hopefully to help resolve a local or personal issue in which Haringey council has or could have a role. Meeting at a surgery can be particularly useful when there are numerous documents relevant to the issue. Surgeries are normally held in the cafe or foyer area of Jacksons Lane theatre, but a private space is available if required. No booking is needed.

A tiny snail longs to see the world, so she hitches a lift on the tail of a humpback whale. Together they go on an amazing journey, experiencing icebergs and volcanoes, sharks and penguins… But when disaster strikes and the whale gets beached, how will the snail save him?

Follow the tiny snail’s exciting journey, as seen through the eyes of an adventurous young girl and her seafaring father…

The Snail and the Whale mixes storytelling, lots of laughs and fantastic new music played live on stage – in a show for everyone aged 4 and up.
