Last Thursday 22 April The BloomIn'Ashley Fundraising Auction raised a £1040
Thanks again for supporting our activites.
Last Thursday the BloomIn'Ashley Fundraising Auction raised a £1040,
the proceeds of the auction, a raffle on the night and the kind offers
of flower barrel sponsorship by local residents combined to break our
own record set this time last year. Our thanks go to all those who bought,
brought and bid for items, and those who took a chance on the raffle.
We are also very grateful to Margaret and the team at The Peel Arms as
well our resident auctioneer Colin Sutton. The funds raised will be put
together with the grant from the Parish Council and will go towards flowers,
equipment and other items required to keep making our pretty village even
prettier.
Last Friday and Saturday 23/24 April The
BloomIn'Ashley Group (over 30 volunteers) collected 27 bags of rubbish
Over the course of the weekend over 30 people helped out. Most came along
on Saturday but such is the level of support we have, some went out on
Friday night as they were away for the weekend and some promised to do
an area on Sunday morning. We collected 27 bags of rubbish which were
wisked magically away by Newcastle Councils 'Streetscene' team on Saturday
afternoon. This year for the first time, and thanks in part to the glorious
weather, we were able to put on 'Coffee & Cakes' for the weary pickers,
a selection of whom are pictured.

A local resident wants to try and find a sharer for a part walled kitchen garden who would share the work and the produce
A local Knighton resident writes "I have a part walled kitchen garden
on the farm but haven't the time or
the energy to keep up with it at present.
It is on a raised bed system. I want to try and find a sharer who would share the work and the produce.
There is space for some chickens if they were interested or even a pig!
I believe that there is a waiting list for allotments.
If you are interested, please email info@loggerheads.eu
