Title: Well, we've got the grant
Post by: manicscousers 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

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.
