WOW IT’S A RECORD OPEN DAY!
An amazing day, thank you to everyone that got involved.
We had approx. 500 people attend our Open day which far exceed our previous events record of 372 visitors and the weather again held out for us.
So far donations of over £2400 pounds have already been made to various charities. Including all the gate money going directly to NGS chosen beneficiaries - Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie, Hospice UK, Parkinson's UK, The Queen's Nursing Institute and Carers Trust. Along with a large donation going to Guide dogs to support the amazing work they also do. Additionally we will also be distributing further donations to local good causes.
We could not have achieved such a great day without the army of volunteers who came forward to help setup, help on the day and help pack up. THANK YOU.
We had some fantastic feedback including “We have never seen such beautiful allotments so well kept.” “These allotments are a credit to all” “What a fantastic community spirited event, well done.” “These allotments are my idea of heaven” “ Wow I didn't know the site was so big and it is so well looked after” “I wish our allotment were like this” and this is just a summary.
