It's spring: time for new beginnings, reflecting on the past year, together! You are invited to our annual Potluck Spring Dinner.   

Over snacks and drinks, we would like to celebrate this new beginning with you, reflect on the events of the past year and share our cultural stories around spring. The theme fot this Poltluck Spring Dinner will be  'Feeling Like Belonging'.

Bring some delicacies

The potluck dinner represents the diversity of cultures within the Meeting Point Community. Therefore, we want you to bring a dish related to spring, new beginnings, brightness after darkness, forgiveness or a bank holiday (e.g. orange tompouches for King's Day; bara for Holi-Phagwa or baklava for Eid-al-Fitr).
