Title: Visitors from Stainforth in Doncaster
Post by: Squash64 on November 08, 2009, 07:16:18
Please keep your fingers crossed that the weather stays reasonably fine for us today.

29 people from allotments in Stainforth, Doncaster are visiting our allotments so it would be nice if it didn't rain.  They are coming because they have seen our website and want to exchange ideas with us.

Thanks everyone for crossing your fingers - the weather stayed fine!

The group arrived at about 11.30 and after they'd had a cuppa and some cake I divided them into three groups and we showed them around.

My group had the obligatory KevPhoto

I asked them why they had chosen our site to visit and they said we were famous!!  :o :o

Don't think Kev has read this thread yet.  I expect he will come up with some funny remarks. Pleased you missed the rain and had a good day.
