Flower Planting Day Sunday 4th December!

Submitted by Aimee on
We are finally going to do some flower planting at Lethlean Lane THIS Sunday 4th December at 10:30 am! 
Hayle in Bloom have very kindly helped us out with providing bulbs for outside the gate and will help plant on the day, and Chris Lello will be rotavating the cemetery extension this week. Huge thanks to Margaret Tanner!
We will have some wildflower and grass seeds to put on the cemetery extension, where we want to build up a wildflower meadow to reduce the weeds and encourage insects on the site. 
WHAT WE NEED:
People to come and help.
Any wildflower seeds you may have collected and saved to put on the cemetery.
Rakes, to rake in the seeds.
I will make some cakes and bring squash, but any other refreshments would be gratefully received.

Allotment BBQ Sunday 18th September 4pm CANCELLED AGAIN!! SORRY!

Submitted by Aimee on

Hello all - here is a plan for the BBQ on Sunday 18th September from 4pm, which will NOT go ahead because the forecast hasn't materialised and it's way too windy to be fun. Sorry everyone. We might need to rethink this - anyone fancy a night in the pub instead?

I will get some burgers and sell them at a small profit to benefit the society. I will bring a BBQ to cook them on.
Please bring something to share - for instance, I will make a ratatouille. If you plan to BBQ something extra to this, you may need to bring your own BBQ.
Please also bring drinks,cutlery, plates, chairs if you will require them.
Look forward to seeing you all then.

Blooming Hayle - Allotment Society Stall on Sunday 26th June

Submitted by Aimee on

BLOOMING HAYLE

Hayle Allotment Society will be running a stall on King George's Walk on Sunday 26th June (2-5) at the Hayle in Bloom family celebration day.

The idea is to sell allotment produce and cakes to raise money and awareness of the Society, and to support Hayle in Bloom and generally be community-minded.

Please let Aimee know if you can help or donate allotment produce and/or cakes. So far, I have kind offers of potatoes from Sue and Steve and Nigel, bagged salad from Tina and Jane, cakes and produce from Carole and Joanna, and I have mangetout / sugarsnaps and some courgette and parsley plants.

If people could drop stuff off to Aimee's house on the morning (13 Caroline Row) or bring it along on the day, that would be fabulous. I will probably pop up to the allotments Sunday morning too, so you can hand stuff over if you see me.

Easter Bunnies

Submitted by Aimee on

Social Secretary Joanna organised a fantastic Easter Egg Hunt on the Allotments on Easter Sunday.

Nineteen children took part in challenges including "find a chive plant", "find an aphid" and "spot some rabbit droppings" (outside the fences, obviously) and an egg and spoon race. The all important cake was provided by Joanna, Wendy C, Aimee and Sophie and lots of people including Dick donated eggs for a raffle. 

£12.50 was raised towards allotment funds! 

Many thanks to all concerned.
