Due to the success of last year’s BBQ we have decided to try to fit in two this year, one in May on a Saturday and one in August on a Sunday.
It will probably take the same format as last year with an hour or so work on the community plot/ pond followed by lots to eat and drink. The BBQ equipment will be provided and everyone brings their own food. Last year people brought extra to share around so we were all stuffed and some of us a bit tipsy!! But don’t worry there is no requirement to partake of the alcoholic beverages. In any event it was a most enjoyable day and we will do our best to do it all again this year.
Everyone is welcome – the more the merrier! More info nearer the time.

The Manure Order
Orders for Manure are now closed.
Date for delivery to follow.
If you want free slabs you can pick them up from the car park behind the flats at Adelphi Place in Portobello, They are the pavement slabs that are being replaced along Portobello High Street. They come in two sizes, standard and foot square. They can be collected during working hours and are free subject to availability. The contract is coming to a close so get there early to avoid disappointment.

Monthly Meetings 2010
We had a meeting on the first Saturday in February and we will continue this year, as before, by having an 11.00 meeting on the first Saturday of each month. February’s meeting was well attended, especially given the poor weather and we look forward to seeing you at the next meeting on 6th March.
