A date for your diary!
On Saturday 28 August 2010, the Fairfield Allotments are having a sale of surplus garden
produce. The sale would be between 11am and 2pm and, like last year, would take
place just inside the allotment gates near the white farmhouse.
Nearer the time, there will be posters advertising the event but,
in the meantime, please put the date in your diary.
To make the sale a success, donations of the following items would
be particularly welcome:
·
Fruit and
vegetables
·
Cut
flowers
·
Herbs and
other potted plants
·
Jams and
chutneys (get making!)
·
Home-made
cakes (to be sold whole, or in slices with cups of tea or coffee)
·
Home-made
biscuits
·
A giant vegetable
(for example, a marrow, pumpkin or cabbage) for a “Guess the Weight” competition
·
Folding
tables
·
Gazebos
·
And, of
course, your time. We will need
volunteers to pick, price and sell on the day.
Last year’s sale raised about £350, and we are hoping to do even
better this year. The proceeds will build on the success of the Fairfield Allotments’
stall at the Fun Day on 3 July which raised a very useful £355 for allotment funds.
