Thames Discover Programme Foreshore Forum - the next meeting is at the Society of Antiquaries. on 5th December. No link on the piece of paper they sent me - but there is a web site somewhere.
Friends of Greenwich Park Newsletter - this includes some info on their new history group, which sounds all very interesting. There is a meeting on 7th December at 11 in the Wildlife Centre. The newsletter also gives details of archaeologists busy on the site of the Old Keepers Cottage with lots of interesting finds. They also say they are trying to build up a picture of the buildings which were once on the site - which is a nice change for archaeologists! There is also a note about a project about the Great War and the role of the park and its staff in it. Their annual lecture is by Pieter Van Der Merwe on Painters and the Park 21st February in the morning, and you have to book.
Facebook - for some time we have been looking at all the interesting telecoms related information on the Scrambled Messages Facebook Page - they even have our own Enderby Wharf as their banner picture. Look them up, its a great - Bristol based - site. https://www.facebook.com/groups/201073643404535/)
We have now also discovered GooseyGoo which lists industrial sites where there are campaigns or concerned residents and others trying to get them listed, saved, turned into a museum, photographed before demolition, or whatever. Its another great Facebook site - look them up too. https://www.facebook.com/GooseyGooUK/info/?tab=page_info.. Goosey Goo also has a web page - check out the Enderby Group on it http://www.gooseygoo.co.uk/
Greenwich Society Newsletter - they advertise their annual lecture which is about Fortnum and Masons (suppose that is marginally industrial, but not a Greenwich subject) - its £10 to go in and its on 22nd November in the Maritime Museum Lecture Theatre. see greenwichsociety.org.uk.
They also advertise their Question and Answer Session with Matt Pennycook (16th Jan 11 am - dunno where). 27th February Annual Quiz. They have included a note about the Enderby Group (thank you very much) and GIHS future meetings (thank you again - very grateful).
