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.

We don’t often link to other people’s sites around here, but this item on plotters from the Guardian is well worth a look and great fun to boot.  Looks like these plotters would fit right in around here!

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.

The Allotment Market Stall 2016

TAMS is now open for business for the new season!  In case you have forgotten, TAMS – The Allotment Market Stall – is a charity that collects surplus produce from allotment sites and sells them at stalls in and around the city, returning any profit to the providing allotment associations.  Last year we made well over £100 for our funds via TAMS.

TAMS collects from our site on Thursday of each week.  If you would like to donate please leave your contributions in the containers provided outside the Bothy by Thursday lunchtime.  If you can’t get down to your plot at that time, let Norman or me know and we will collect the materials for you and pass them on. Please be specific as to what we should take.

Tip!  Apparently rhubarb is a big seller.  Perhaps you have some going spare?  Let us know and we will collect and pass it on for you.

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.
