Following agreement with the “landlord” last Friday, we have just set a date to begin ground clearing and preparing the site of our “Grow Your Own” scheme in East Manchester.

This will be on Sunday 3rd November between 11am and 4pm.

I would be very grateful if you could pass on to your contacts and anyone likely to be interested in the project/joining in.

Please share on Facebook, Twitter, email etc.

To keep both workers and the activity fuelled and motivated we are planning to have lots of Cake, Hot food, Tea/Coffee etc..Toffee apples and treacle treats for kids (and adults !!).

It should be a fun day regardless of weather and numbers!! ALL are WELCOME

We are looking for confirmation of attendees where possible.

I can be reached through twitter, Facebook, sms etc as below.

We are also looking for ANY support/assistance re hire/loan/costs of

· Tools/equipment to cut back bramble, nettles and weeds etc and start digging out roots,

· Skip(s) and bins – to remove rubbish/bricks and non-recyclable waste

· Refreshments/food as well as cooking/warming of food etc.

· ….and finally advertising the event.
