Women Refugee & Asylum Seeker Introduction to Allotment Gardening Course
Despite the freezing weather on Saturday, we managed to complete our 4 week course. Certificates were issued and there were smiles all round!
Due to illness we combined a couple of the sessions and Ann Marie and co will return to The Lost Plot in the Spring to help plant vegetables and take part in any further workshops.
We may be able to offer a similar course to other interested parties, so contact Clare, The Lost Plot's Community Education Coordinator for further information afsl.clare@gmail.com or phone her on 07595 873221.

5th Birthday Bonfire Bash
Over 100 people turned up to our 5th Birthday celebrations. Thanks to those who came in the afternoon to help clear the road and sort out the brassicas.
The clay oven baked potatoes were a great success and the soup and home-made cakes were well received by all.
Although a few people were expecting rather more from the firework display, we were really pleased with our new fire/social area and everyone enjoyed the sparklers.
The guess the weight of the pumpkin was won by Jay and we're waiting for reports about how the pumpkin recipes went down at home.

BONFIRE BIRTHDAY BASH AT THE LOST PLOT
To celebrate a successful year of growing and five whole years in the community, we're holding a Bonfire Birthday party on Sunday 7th November from 2pm.
We'd like to welcome friends old and new to our Birthday celebrations. You can take a tour of the plot, meet the volunteers and perhaps get involved in some digging, weeding and general volunteer tasks.
We'll light the bonfire at around 5pm and we'll be offering food prepared in our very own clay oven. There'll also be a hearty range of soups, baked potatoes and seasonal food made from this year’s harvest on offer.
And, to cap it all, we'll be having a few fireworks as soon as the sun has set.
So if you're interested in allotment gardening or just want to see how Chorlton's original community allotment is getting on and would like to join in the celebrations on 7th November please contact Clare Walker on 07595 873221 or clare.walker@afsl.org.uk.
