Community Sunday IYN Extra Session

By

In Events

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.

Blooming Britain!

GFAA were part of a Council group at the Duthie Park representing Aberdeen City in the Britain in Bloom competition today.  Along with a dozen or so other organisations we were invited along to evidence gardening activities in the City.  The judges were very interested to hear of the development of the Primary Plot, our activities with RGU, the planting up of the South Bank and our losing battles with the deer.

We had a great turnout for today’s Community Sunday and so managed to get an amazing amount done.  Thanks to everyone who turned out, and apologies to Helen and Peter who somehow managed to avoid getting into any of the pictures.

Big efforts went into building up the southern pathway, strimming, weeding, litter collection and of course, cake eating.

The good news was we got a whole lot of important work done: the bad news is that following our success on restoring the southern pathway, Stuart has decided we should tender for building the final phase of the Western Peripheral Road.

It’s a drooked disaster!

Our Kaimhill Primary 2 visitors got a drooking coming along the Deeside Line this afternoon and had to turn back and abandon their visit.  What a shame. :-(

However, Mrs Rough brought along Irene and Kelsey to present us with a lovely set of thank you letters and a very special present – the GFAA Site Owl.  I think you will agree it’s rather special.

We have hosted over a dozen Kaimhill Primary visits this season and all of them have been a pleasure.  We look forward to welcoming more again in the coming session.

Mr Murray and his Primary 3/4 Class visited yesterday and helped do a power of work, weeding, helping on the Macmillan Charity Plot paths and learning about fruit and veggies.

We welcomed Ms Walker and her Primary 3 class on site for the last of their five visits today.  As always they were as keen as mustard and a real credit to Kaimhill School.

Setting up for the stone painting activity took a fair bit of work in the heat, but the results certainly made it all worthwhile.

While half the class helped with the stone painting that will become part of our Britain in Bloom 50th Anniversary display, the others helped barrow chips on to the MacMillan Plot for their paths – hot and thirsty work for sure.

We have only one more week of visits this year, on Tuesday and Thursday at 1.30, but we are a bit short-handed on both days: if you could lend a hand to help supervise activities please get in touch.
