AGM 2013


AGM is Saturday 4th May at 1pm, planned to last half hour, followed by a bring and share get together- important all who are able do attend.

Anyone who would like to stand for role of an officer- chair / treasurer/ secretary- should let Denny know in advance please. All nominations very welcome!! If you'd just like to help out in some way, but can't commit to take on role of officer, its great opportunity to get to know other plotholders better, and learn new skills/put your skills to even greater use; just mention it either at/before the AGM.
Thanks

Denny

Help the site (please)....


We are planning to have stalls at Brockley and Blythe Hill fairs in the summer to raise money for further projects at the site

If each of us was able to prepare / donate just one item to sell, this would really make a huge difference  - it has been suggested that if several people could each make up a hanging basket or window-box, for example, (the various pound shops often have hanging baskets etc for sale very cheaply) we could sell them on for a good price as these seem to be in demand at plant sales.

If we all support this effort, with either a donation of a plant and/or helping on the stall at the fair, it'll be a great success!
The communal area, toilet and now poly-tunnel are a testament to what we can achieve when we work together......

Let Denny or Lynn know if you are up for this
Thanks

Reminder- Social 23rd March 1pm
Please come- friends and family most welcome

Ta Dah! A Polytunnel

Fix Battens! We're going over the top!  A heroic effort in (almost) knee-deep cold brown custard saw the 5th Polytunnel Battalion all but complete its mission today.

Tea and medals all round. Pictures below:


Outside of the Polytunnel (ignore the creases, we did)

Look at the tension!

The hand-crafted staging ready to go!
 Grand opening 23 March!
