Come Along to Community Sunday May 21 2023

Our Community Sundays are a great way to meet your fellow plotters and our volunteers and enjoy a good blether while we get some site-wide tasks done.

This Sunday we hope to:

  • Paint the new Cabin
  • Fill our ever deepening potholes
  • Tidy up the South Bank
  • Enjoy some fine fancies and conversational coffees!

We hope you will be able to come along and lend a helping hand.

Welcome Back!

After the long Covid break, it was great to have the wonderful Kaimhill kids back visit with us along with Captain Grow, aka Peter (Plot 29).

Thanks go to Hazel, Anne, Steve, Raymond, Ron and Norman for hosting groups on their plots and to Mr Skinley and his colleagues for taking the kids along to us.

The kids return on Tuesday 9 May and then for the next six weeks or so at the same times. If you can spare an hour or so between 13.00 and 14.20 and would be willing to have the kids visit on your plot we would love to hear from you.

Thanks to everyone, plotters, volunteers, friends, nursery staff and kids and ACC staff who managed along to help and encourage and so contributed to a very safe and successful bonfire day.

Bonfire Final Reminder

It’s Garthdee Fields’ annual bonfire tomorrow – Tuesday 21 March 2023. If you have any available time to help feed the flames between 10.00 and 14.00 it will be very much appreciated. Very old clothes and gloves are essential.

Garthdee Field on the Wireless

Well Radio for the youngsters I guess.

Your will recall that Fiona and Anna from BBC Scotland visited a week or se back to record a number of interviews for their programme, It’s a Small World. Fiona has been in touch with the details of the upcoming broadcast.


I just wanted to let you know that the Garthdee allotment programme will be going out under the title of It’s a Small World on BBC Radio Scotland on Sunday 19 March at 6 00 am. Very early, I know but you can also access the programme at any time via BBC Sounds. I’d be grateful if you can let our other contributors know also please.

Anna and I very much enjoyed our visit to the allotments and I hope you like what you hear.

Many thanks for all your help.

Best wishes
Fiona


Thanks to all who helped out on the day.

Bonfire Date Change

Please note the annual bonfire has been moved back a week to Tuesday 21 March 2023. Sorry – but the weather dictates.
