What's On

Raise the Polytunnel

Many thanks to everyone for the huge turnout, the brilliant enthusiasm and the teamwork in raising the polytunnel, replanting the allotment and moving all that woodchip.

We will finish the job by putting up the plastic cover on the next available warm Saturday or Sunday. If you were involved on the 2nd and would like to come along please let us know by email and we will contact you at short notice, on a Friday, to see if you are available. We don't need huge numbers, so don't worry if you can't make a particular day.

Join us for informal discussion on anything relevant to the cause - you can find out more, get involved, or just enjoy a drink and a chat. Hope to see you there.

We will be in the back room as usual. Graham, the landlord, has promised us sandwiches on the house, so another reason for coming!

Developments are happening thick and fast, with plans for the polytunnel at St Mary's school coming on - see news, and possible cookery courses at the school in the pipeline.
