On Thursday afternoon Carole Baxter for the BBC Scotland’s Beechgrove Garden came to call. Carole was on site to record materials for a new BBC Radio programme and interviewed a number of our plotters.
On hand were Harry and Leo with Mum, Anne. When asked what they liked eating most on the plot, Harry knew just what to reply – chocolate! Leo on the other hand went for carrots: good answer, but they are better still if dipped in chocolate of course.
Jim Henderson has been in touch to say he hopes to visit our site 10.00am August 4 2015 to carry out his annual assessment of our progress for the, It’s Your Neighbourhood Awards. We hope Jim will be able to meet with as many of our plotters as possible, so please put this date into your diaries if you can make it along. We are hoping to have a tea and scone social event at the end of the visit.
If you think you might be able to help us prepare for Jim’s visit, please let Stuart, or a member of the committee, know as soon as possible.
We welcomed Miss Rennie and her wonderful Primary 3 stars today and a good time was had by all. Even the weather behaved!
We are already looking forward to more visits in the new term. If you could spare an hour of your time as a pupil guide, please let Stuart, Gill or Norman know.
