News from Granton Community Gardeners

Dear All,

Happy New Year!

Bit stormy and there’s snow, so there’s not so much gardening going on at the moment, though drop-ins are still on every Tuesday and Saturday when the weather is reasonable (dry and not frozen or blowing a gale!)

You’re all invited to our Burns Night Community Ceilidh!  This has become a very popular regular annual event and this will be the 5th year.

BURNS NIGHT COMMUNITY CEILIDH

TICKETS £2. in advance only. (Volunteers, performers and under 5’s FREE) -tickets on sale from community centre reception.

BYOB

We’ll need quite a few helpers at the event, especially in the teams setting up and decorating (it’s a big sports hall), and clearing everything up at the end.  Please give us a shout if you’d be up for helping!

Also if you’d like to perform a song/dance/poem/etc.  we have a few spaces available, either for traditional Scottish or other cultural performances. We know Granton has a lot of talent!   Let us know if so …

You’re also invited to our regular:

COMMUNITY MEALS

EVERY TUESDAY 5-7pm

GRANTON PARISH CHURCH HALL

(55 Boswall Parkway -entrance through gate on Wardierburn St East)

FREE -though help with washing up or donations are always welcome

ALL AGES WELCOME! (children with responsible adult)

We’ve been getting lots of good feedback on the food (thanks to our chef Jayne!) and it’s great to have somewhere warm to eat together.  We also make extra meals that can be taken away at the end for family/friends/neighbours, especially if you know someone who’d particularly appreciate it.

Hope you’re all well,

Tom
