Pretoria Road Allotments

FUNDRAISING

A big thank you to everyone who helped out and supported our allotment open day on Saturday 9th July, which once again was a great success.

We made a profit of £232.88. A big thank you to all the children (and the parents) who took the time to make scarecrows. It was fun to see them popping up over the allotment days before the open day. Competition was fierce and judging was difficult! The winner was the 2nd Patchway Scout group with Jorden a close second. The Scout group are going to put the money towards an abseiling day.

I also want to thank everyone for being generous with their tea and coffee donations. To date I have banked £41.56. It is great to see so many people making use of the meeting room, taking time out from their digging and planting to enjoy a drink with fellow plot holders. We are all getting to know one another and it now feels like we are a community.
