Join Granton Community Gardeners for a Harvest Meal on Tuesday

 

Dear All,

It’s turning cold!  Time to find a warm building, and cook lots of tasty food!  You’re all invited to:

GRANTON COMMUNITY GARDENERS HARVEST MEAL 2017

TUESDAY, 21st November.  Food served 5-7pm.

At Granton Parish Church (55 Boswall Parkway) -entrance on the corner of Wardieburn Street East.

FREE

ALL AGES WELCOME!   (kids need to come with a responsible adult)

If you’d like to help out in any way, we need some people to help decorate, cook, serve food, or wash up. Please reply to this email or speak to Jayne or Tom if you’d like to volunteer!

You’re welcome to bring neighbours, friends and family.. (if you can RSVP it’s helpful to get an idea of numbers, but you can just show up!)

Big thank you to Granton Parish Church for letting us use their kitchen and hall!

This will be the first of a regular series of meals, every Tuesday (early evening) between now and 12th December. We have some funding from the Scottish Government to support this, so will be hosting as many meals as we can over the Winter.

We’re very glad to have a vegetarian chef working with us, Jayne, who also works as a cookery teacher, so she’ll be keeping us right and in charge of food!  If anyone would like to help cook, it could be a good opportunity to share and learn some skills..

In other news:

Regular gardening drop ins are continuing, twice a week when the weather is ok. Meet 11am Tuesday or Saturday, at the garden on the corner of Boswall Parkway and Wardieburn Road.  Yesterday we were planting garlic..

Bread club has been really popular, and is now happening roughly once a month.  If you’d like to learn to bake or practice your skills, or would like to be contacted when we next have some of our own bread to sell, please get in touch!  We’re about to mill our wheat from this year’s harvest, so we’ll have some more of our own flour to bake with.

We should hopefully have some new exciting updates to share fairly soon, watch this space!

Hope you’re all well,

Tom

New day, new time, new venue for Chat Cafe

Mondays, 12 – 2pm at Royston Wardieburn Community Centre

Hi folks,

Just to say the Chat Café is up and running again and looking for new people to get involved. It’s for people new to the area, who may be learning English and for longer term residents too who want a chance to get out of the house, meet new people and help new folk settle in. It’s a simple way to get people out of the house to make new friends and support each other.

There is a free creche, so it’s especially useful for young parents who can be very isolated, especially if they are recent arrivals and don’t have family support around them. We talk, share a meal, go on trips, share information etc. All very relaxed and informal.

Chat Café

Mondays 12.00pm – 2.00pm
