Email response I received when asking for a stall for the Forest Hill Society:
A few years ago it was decided that all religious and political groups and civic societies, due to issues in previous years, would be unable to attend this event. It was decided at this meeting, by the committee, that this ruling would still be enforced so unfortunately we are unable to accommodate your society at the event.
Whilst I understand the reasons behind this decision in previous years, I think this is very disappointing when it bars the Forest Hill Society from having a stall at Forest Hill Day. Whilst stop the demolition campaign got almost 500 signatures on the day (by standing at the bottom of the park rather than having a stall) nobody was able to receive any information about the work of the Forest Hill Society.
This is the third year we have been refused entry and I do hope that it will not happen again next year. FHTA should change their policy or make an exception.
