AGM - 16th July 2024
We had our AGM on Tuesday 16th July 2024. We are pleased to announce that the current executive team were re-elected for a two year term, although one half will step down next year as part of our Articles of Association.
We are also delighted to announce five non-executive directors who have joined us. They have a wealth of experience and have lived in our community for almost a combined 100 years. Well done all! We look forward to taking our organisation to the next level.
Grito Latino Pride Fest
We hosted the first Pride festival at Magdalen Hall, celebrating the queer Latinx Community in the UK. It was a FREE event supported by 10 Latinx and queer organisations in the UK.
On the day there was:

FREE Live Shows: Stand-up comedy, Brazilian samba and live cumbia hosted by drag queen Senorita Rita.

Plaza Latina
On Saturday 15th June 2024 we hosted Plaza Latina. It was a great success. Bringing back a Latin American vibe to our great hall and estate. It was a free event for all to enjoy. It had music, dance, free health checks, comedy, performances and food.
Throughout the day 450 people came to enjoy the festivities. Even Paddington Bear showed his face! Did you know that before living in London, Paddington Bear hailed from Peru? He was bought up by Aunt Lucy after becoming orphaned following an earthquake when he was just a few weeks old. She taught him perfect English before sending him as a stow away on a boat to London. He was then found in Paddington Station by Mr and Mrs Brown.
Thank you to all those involved and Latin Hub UK our new partners. Our next event is on the 15th June 2024, bringing a Pride theme to the event. It will be a spectacle with great things planned so put the date in your diary. Details will follow soon.
At Magdalen Hall Association our space is open to all who want to be part of our great community and family. We will always promote tolerance, diversity and equality and ensure our tenants and residents are heard.
Latin Hub UK Event
On Saturday 15th June 2024, we are hosting a Latin Hub event. It will have dancing, comedy, singing, food stalls, health kiosks and pinata making.
Come see what the Latin community has to offer.
Incorporation
On the 14th May 2024, we officially became incorporated. This takes the organisation from being unincorporated without any legal standing or rules to now being regulated by law.
This will ensure the long-term viability of the association and allow us to usher in a new age of investment into our estates to bring the best and most out of an association we all hold dear.
Pancake / Valentines Day Event
We hosted a event for Pancake Day and Valentines Day. We had a good turn out. The children came up with some great tasty designs.
