Good old fashioned barn raising - volunteers required!!!

[MindBodyandSoil]

Hi all, as you may have noticed on our other thread, our project has been awarded a grant of £10,000 from B&Q. My problem is that all the work has to be completed by mid September - otherwise, they will take all the stuff back!!!  :'(

I was wondering if anybody would be willing to come and volunteer for a day on our lovely project, helping us dig, raise the shed and greenhouse, build raised beds - you name it, there will be plenty to do!!!

In return I can offer a pick up in our mini bus, from either Norwich or Cambridge, travel expenses (once I clear it with my boss) and a lovely bbq with lots of free food and drink suitable for veggies and meat-eaters alike!!!

If you would like to come and help us for a day, please let me know. The dates I have free are Saturday 2 August / Sunday 3 August / Saturday 9 August / Satuday 16 August / Satuday 23 Sept.

If interested, please let me know which date would suit you.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

Come on peeps! Is there nobody except norfolklass who fancies a trip to good old king's lynn?

[Patrick King]

i would be up to it, i will see if i can crash at my grandads in norwich. if i can i will let you know.

[MindBodyandSoil]

That's excellent patrick. Will hope to see you soon.    Please don't be put off because of my project working with people with mental health problems. I know there is a lot of misconceptions about the people i work with but remember that my group are approaching the point when they are ready to go back into the work place

I will vouch for what MBand S said, I have worked with adults and children with mental health problems.....they are great. All you need is a good sense of humour!

I wish I could spare the time to help out, I work weekends Im afraid. Then through the week when I can afford to, I go to the farm, where we need no end of volunteers too.

I wish you the very best of luck getting it all done for september, and congratulations again on receiving that splendid grant.

Also pinging this to the top.

i would be useless to help other than to volunteer for BBQ and making sure everyone has enough to drink duty :)

If you let me have an advert type message (pm me) i will post it in the village forum.

[MindBodyandSoil]

Thanks Cambourne, that would be great. Will pm you when I have produced a poster. You are more than welcome to come and help with bbq and drinks! The more the merrier!

I would love to come as I know its going to be fun but I cant Im too far away. Im so sorry :(

[MindBodyandSoil]

No probs Ishard. I know that King's Lynn is not exactly central!!!

 ;D

I am hoping to see you several times in the next six weeks, with a small break
for my Holiday. I`m planning to arrange lifts with a friend who will be working in Kings Lynn.
I have to be able to meet some comittments at home and keep on top of my own plots.

Sorry I didn`t remember to tell you whats going on in my head. I will need to pm you and exchange emails.

 Sadly I live in Hull and it is a bit far to go, but I love a barn raising, being Mennonite ,John and I have been to several before we left North America and  they are really great.

If you do live in the area, it is a super way to spend some time,,you will feel really good.

Good luck on the day, I really envy you.
