New Volunteer: Graham Barron

We are pleased to welcome Graham to our growing band of volunteers on site.  Graham is local to Garthdee and found us through our involvement with ACVO.

Graham is now a regular on site, having visited a couple of times most weeks for the last couple of months. He has not yet decided if he will want a plot of his own, but Graham is happy to help out with site maintenance, tidying up around the trees, moving wood chips, repairing paths and lately, raking up leaves.

If you see Graham about on site, please come over and say hello. Or, if you have a project in mind on your plot you would like him to help with, please get in touch.

It’s Your Neighbourhood Success

I am delighted to report that following our IYN assessment last month GFAA has achieved an Outstanding level assessment.  Gill and Norman attended the Keep Scotland Beautiful Awards Ceremony in October to receive our certificate.

Sincere thanks go to all plotters for keeping their own plots in excellent order this year, to the growing band of Community Sunday participants, our volunteers, collaborators and partners and to all those individuals who helped around the communal areas of the site and so contributed to this superb result.

What’s in a number?

The Council requires each plotter to mark clearly the number of his or her plot. But as this top ten of signs shows, identifying your plot does not have to be expensive or complicated.

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 2/3 Visitors

I think we can claim today’s visit by pupils from Kaimhill Primary was enjoyed by all, although Gill, Jacqui and I needed to go lie down in a darkened room for an hour or so afterwards!  Thanks go to Mrs McKenzie and her team for all their help on the day.
