Title: coffee morning
Post by: shirlton on August 10, 2008, 18:50:21: We are having a coffee morning on Saturday at Court Lane allotments in Erdington. We hope to raise awareness among the community about allotments and the benefits they can bring to the area and also to raise some funds to go towards making the site more secure. I know that there aren't many of you that live in the area but if any of you do come you will be sure of a warm welcome. You can also sample my courgette soup. lol. There will be lots of home made cakes as well.

In all we made around £200 to go towards our allotment security fund. We are planning to do it again very soon so if anyone has any ideas that we could use to increase our funds please feel free to advise. BTW it stayed dry and we even got some sunshine to boot.
