Well, we've got the grant
« on: October 26, 2009, 16:29:51 »
well, in principal anyway, we can replace our old, unsafe communal greenhouse with a brand new, rhino greenhouse, means the disabled group will be able to use it, the other one was 40 years old made up from old wood and window frames..now we have to make the base  ::)
not getting too excited until it's in the bank and cleared  ;D

That's brilliant, well done!
Do you mind if I ask you how much you got, and where the grant is from?

grannyjanny, you're welcome to come see it, hopefully it will be done for january  ;D
the grant we're going for  this time is for £6,800 from Awards for all (lottery grant), as I say, not counting the chickens until they're all in the bank and cleared  ;D

Well done pleased for you, but isn't it a bit cruel to keep Rhino's in a greenhouse.  ;D ;D ;D ;D  Thought someone would be silly on here.
