It was great to see a brilliant turn out for what we hoped would be the final push for a huge task at the allotments- well done to the whole team for making it out on a Saturday afternoon and especially to Loz, Fiona, Theo and Dave who joined for their first session! A huge welcome to you. Our task was to bag up all the stuff blocking the border so that the council can get in to put in a brand new fence. As many of the allotment holders are older they would really struggle so that’s where GG stepped in! We got cracking stuffing bags full of organic waste, coming across not an unsubstantial number of spiders as we worked. It is Halloween after all! 90 minutes of hard work flew by, and the huge pile of full bags was testament to our progress. Amazing job all, thank you for all your efforts. Don’t forget we have missions throughout the week, and every Monday is our group run from the BAC. Tonight’s run is a fun spooky themed session followed by our monthly pub quiz- here are the links with all the info. Hope to see you there!

Our second session at our new GG garden and we’re definitely making progress! While Jeremy and Jamal created a great pathway down the middle of the plot, Paul had brought along some fabulous solar lights and put them up with Matthew. Nia was busy marking out the planting area, and planted the first of our produce- chard and rocket. Watch this space!
