Community Sunday Activities June 21 2015

Today’s Community Sunday activities involved dodging the weather quite a bit, but thanks to a good turnout we still got a lot done and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Thanks to everyone you managed along – and especially the flan, cake and scone bakers who excelled themselves today.  Scrumptious!  Our next Community Sunday is scheduled for 19 July – pop it in your diary now!

Kaimhill Primary 2 come visiting…

GFAA played host to Ms Walker’s Primary 2 Class from Kaimhill School today. I think we can safely say that a good time was had by all!

The kids enjoyed a runner bean sowing and growing activity with Stuart and a visit to Gill’s plot to explore what different veggies look like when they are growing.

Two other class visits are planned, for Wednesday 17 and Thursday 25 June, between 1.30 and 2.30 in each case.  If you could find the time to help with either of these visits please let Stuart or me know. Any and all offers help will be very much welcomed.

 

 

Sonia Parker Degree Show

You may remember Sonia Packer visiting our site to take photos for her RGU degree project. Sonia has been kind enough to invite us to her final degree show – see details below.

Snap, Crackle and Pop

Today’s Spring Bonfire had a bit of everything – snap, crackle and pop, not to mention the whee of exploding snails. We were faced with what appeared to be a mountain of material – old rasp canes, rotten timber, even whole trees.

However, the event went to prove the old adage – many hands make light work – as with over a dozen helpers pitching in at different times, the last bundles of stuff were consigned to the flames by the early afternoon.

With apologies to the many I failed to get photos of, it was great to see the site get a major clean-up and so much rubbish cleared away.
