Allotments 4 All

Hi All,

Its been a while since we organised a get together and i wondered up was up for it this year? And is there a location that might suit everyone?

Cam

I'd be interested if not too far away (from Liverpool)

Everyone is more than welcome to come to Brum!
 

I'd love to come 

I'd be up for a meet.

Brum works for me if it works for everyone else? Any venue in mind?

If you have not been before, the Wallsall Rd Allotments is a truly inspirational place to visit.

That's very kind of you Digeroo.

Not too sure about us being inspirational but we would love it if people
came here for the get-together. 

We are fairly easy to find, just off a main road, with plenty of parking on site.
We have lots of cover in case of bad weather and most importantly,  friendly plot-holders!

Shall we bring our own refreshments or will we be able to purchase any there?  Hmmm numb bum on No. 11 then.

so we have a venue what about a date?? June or July??

Walsall Road gets my vote.

Ohh, pout pout, now I am jealous..I would have to fly over and need digs..have fun folks,pou pout XX Jeannine

Unless anyone else has somewhere to suggest for our meeting,
shall we say it will be at Walsall Road?

I don't mind which month, I'm not going away so it doesn't matter
to me.

I could make sandwiches and cake, or people could bring their
own.  We have a kitchen and lots of shelter now that we have completed
our new veranda outside the pavilion.

Of course, it's early days and not everyone will have read this thread so
if anyone else has a different idea of where to meet, then that's fine
by me.

I will bring out a picture of you and bring it along so you can there in spirit :)

Sorry to put a damper on things, but I have been to two meets, and very few people actually turn up.  Though I have very much enjoyed the company of those who have.  Maybe they are all too busy digging.

I thought the turn-out at Barnsdale was pretty good a few years back- we had a really nice day! If people want to go, they'll go, if not no problem!

I'd love to meet the scarecrows in person! June or July would be good in the hope of some decent weather and some nice crops to look at!

I'll brush up on my baking skills.  Could you arrange for it to be on a nice sunny, balmy day please?

I went to that one too, there was an amazing seed swap as well. I've been to Betty's site for one of the Open Days and it is fab, so I'm game for another visit.....

How exciting
I'm  in.
