Graphic Designer Wanted

NERA needs someone to undertake the occasional bit of design/layout work for our promotional literature/posters, etc. The jobs are infrequent and the basic design parameters are established, athough there's scope to enhance our visual impact still further. Unfortunately you'll be doing this out of local community spirit, as we can't pay for it. Are you happy to fit occasional work in for us? We'd be pleased to hear from you. Just call 0208 850 0467.



New Eltham Residents' Association was founded in 1930. It is a non-political association that looks upon local issues with impartiality and non allegiance. The current chairman is Robin Clark and the President is Clive Efford the current local Member of Parliament (Eltham Constituency).
As a pressure group for the residents of New Eltham we tackle local issues and concerns and liaise with local Council and Parliament.
Issues such as local police monitoring, building development, traffic watchdog and problems and local transport services are just a few of the wide ranging subjects and problems which are dealt with on a day-by-day basis.
The committee comprises local residents, local businesses, councilors and the local MP. The organization rests solely on the efforts and enthusiasm of volunteers and interested residents. Meetings are held once a month.
Annual membership costs only £3.00. To join, send a cheque made payable to New Eltham Residents' Association with your contact details to:
Mr R Clark 194 Green Lane
New Eltham London SE9 3TL

The Association is still looking to fill vacances on the committee and for people to help collect subscriptions. If you are interested contact Robin Clark on 020 8857 2990.

      Can you spare a bit of time?


NERA Representatives are required. We've had an excellent response for road reps, but we could still do with a few more. It's not too much of a job, and just entails knocking on doors in your road, asking people for the next year's membership or if they would like to consider joining, and it might take half a day, once a year. It's a great way of getting to know the neighbours and collecting any feedback we could act upon. It's also good to feel you're doing a bit for the community. We also need a bit of help distributing leaflets for our next publicity push, so if you'd like to help, contact the Chairman, details opposite.





Do you have a computer problem? Our resident expert may be able to help. Email us with the details.
