Post by: Sparkly on August 16, 2009, 18:05:44: I would love to come. I think it is worth a visit just to see DebP's shed!!

I have family in Notts so travelling to Derby is okay.

Problem is that I am on a hen weekend...

Title: Re: Saddad's Open Day
Post by: saddad on August 25, 2009, 19:20:25: Sorry for not replying but I've been in York since Sunday... Foremark Avenue.. opposite the main gates is good for parking.. just don't try to get into the wrong site... the big wooden fence in Foremark is "Normanton" allotments... ( the ones visible from the ring road)
Title: Re: Saddad's Open Day
Post by: tomatoada on August 25, 2009, 19:35:45: All info. duly noted. Thanks . I presume there will be a notice on the allotment gates.

You must have weeded every last weed out by now. I hope you have a good turn out.
Title: Re: Saddad's Open Day
Post by: tomatoada on August 26, 2009, 08:07:01: I am checking the following.
Allotments are called Littleover Lane Allotments
Park in Foremark Ave
Where does Normanton come in.
Sorry but you know we women can find places.
Will the 90 yr old lady be there? Can I know what plot no. she has? I would love to meet her.Sorry to ask you all this as I know you must be busy.
Title: Re: Saddad's Open Day
Post by: saddad on August 26, 2009, 09:55:09: Hi... Normanton is the District... from Ashbourne if you come into town down the Ashbourne rd to The Markeaton Island then right tot he next island (Kingsway/Sainsbury's) follow the A5111 Up and over the ridge at Littleover (Burton Rd) When you go down the hill the first roundabout (where the Yellow signs will be) is Normanton turn right into Stenson rd and right again (at the top of the rise) into L'over Lane. I'm fairly certain Betty (ours) will be about that's plot 53... :)

We had a guided tour by Alison, stopped chatting to several people who gave us produce. We saw Deb's shed, wonderful. I want one. Bought some bits & bobs. The only disappointment was that we didn't meet any other boarders. Maybe next time.
Hope you enjoyed it Saddad.
Thanks again.
