On the afternoon of 3 October GFAA will welcome to our site 40 students from Gray’s School of Art 1st Year Communication Programme.  The students will be asked to investigate and document the location through, illustration, photography, mapping, colour, typography and so on.  Their Tutor, Iain Morrison will be joining the students on their visit.  It is always very interesting to see how visitors view our site from their different perspectives and I am sure all plotters will be pleased to extend a warm welcome to the students.

Our new It’s Your Neighbourhood (IYN) Assessors, Ian and Sandra visited this week.  It was a pleasure to meet them and to show them around our site.

I’ve got to say Garthdee Field was looking wonderful for the visit.  Thanks go to all who contributed to getting the site into the best possible shape for the visit.  It will be a week or more before we get feedback on the assessment, but whatever the outcome, I am sure everyone did their very best to present our site at its best.

Today’s Community Sunday saw our best ever turnout with plotters, volunteers and friends from the Macmillan and RGU plots all well represented.  As a result we got a bucketload of tasks done on the wider site.

Sincere thanks to everyone who made it along and turned in such a wonderful team effort and to the bakers for the affa fine cakes.  Gold medals all round!

We have our It’s Your Neighbourhood Competition assessment visit on August 18.  All GFAA members are invited along on the day to meet with our assessors.  We are hoping for a record turnout of plotters.  Please come along if you can manage.

We have a power of work to do to have the site ship-shape for the visit and so we plan to have an extra Community Sunday session this coming Sunday – August 14 at 11.00 – 12.30.  As usual it will be all hands to the wheel with good company to get things done and then a coffee and cake session at the Bothy to celebrate a job well done.

Sunday Post!

Please come along and help if you can spare the time.

I came across Sandy about to head home with this splendid cauliflower.

As I said to him, he is going to need a lot more cheese to go with this one!

Sadly our longest serving plotter Frank Laird passed away on Tuesday 19th July. Frank started at Garthdee allotments in 1968 on Plot 26. Frank was well respected at the allotment and always had a friendly greeting for other plotters. As you might guess he accumulated a lot of helpful information regarding growing vegetables which he readily shared with other plotters. Our sympathies go to his wife Peggy and family.
