Hello all

Some dates for your diaries:

Carole will be kindly hosting a SEED SWOP on Thursday 17th November, details to follow. Don't order seeds before that as several people have very large quantities to exchange!

On 18th November Aimee will be sending off the potato order to Dobies - still waiting for order forms to arrive but will let you know when. http://www.dobies.co.uk/ 

Next year's Rose and Cabbage Show will be on 21st July and there will be a plant sale on 19th May for which any donations of extra plants will be very welcome.

Update on other matters:

Aimee went to the Council meeting last Thursday at which gating of turf paths was discussed again. Unfortunately for procedural reasons the Council couldn't make a definite decision at that meeting but the upshot is that the Council are shelving the issue for now and will rediscuss at the end of the growing season, probably Oct/ Nov. In the meantime, fences and gates can stay but new people mustn't put new fences over paths. We had a lot of support from councillors, particularly John Bennett, in relation to finding a sensible negotiated solution.
