Creffield Area  Residents Association © Cara 2011 Social Events 2011 – 2012 CARA holds four social events a year which are open to all members, and non-members are invited to come along and join CARA at the same time.  Apart from the CARA Summer Barbecue or Big Lunch, all events are held on a Thursday evening, in the hope that the largest number of people will be free to attend. 2011 AGM The AGM is held in May, when the President outlines the work of the Executive Committee for the forthcoming year. Items which affect the membership are put to the vote and new members of the Executive Committee are elected. In 2011 the AGM was held on Thursday, 12^th May 2011, in the Lady Chapel, St Martin's Church, Hale Gardens.  Following the AGM, Dr Jonathan Oates, Ealing’s Borough Archivist & Local History Librarian, gave CARA’s Inaugural Community Lecture on the history of the Creffield area.
