St Andrew's United Reformed Church

The Crew is a lively social group for those who are, or who can remember being fortysomething. Most months we get together for an activity - perhaps a barbecue or a quiz night at a member’s house, or bowling or a trip to a National Trust property for example. It is very informal, very friendly, for couples, singles (and occasionally children on appropriate occasions). TheCrewPlus are events that are open to all members and friends of St Andrew’s, young or ... less so.

Our main means of publicising events is by email. If you would like to be on our mailing list, please email David or Bara Saint.

In order to confirm the date, Michael and Caroline Fisk would like to know BY SUNDAY 18TH JULY PLEASE whether you would like to join the postponed visit to Osterley Park on either Saturday August 14th or August 21st. We are unsure whether the small numbers booking last time were due to the chosen date, or whether this is simply a less popular outing than other NT visits we have arranged in the past. Michael has therefore wisely suggested we will only go ahead if we get 8 or more people wishing to join us.

Would you like to be one (or two!) of those people? And if so, would you have a preference for the 14th or 21st?

We suggest that we meet at the Osterley Park car park between 12.30 and 12.45 near/at the entrance to the park and, hopefully, the picnic area will not be too far away. If you need a lift, we will try and arrange it.

Osterley Park has a spectacular mansion surrounded by gardens, park and farmland. The park is said to be perfect for picnics so please bring your picnic as usual and, hopefully, we will be blessed with good weather and be able to find a nice spot to eat it.

Unusually, Osterley has been through a number of ownerships but its main development was in the 18th century when it was owned by the Child family (founder of Childs Bank) and various additions were made at that time by Robert Adam.
