ALLOTMENT OPEN DAY – SATURDAY 16^TH JULY

A chance, from ten until four o’clock, to catch up with the latest developments on The Patch Allotments.  Pick up ideas for your own gardening aspirations, from the best of conventional to the plain quirky but effective.

The beehives are now comfortably settled into their apiary and the bees are busily engaged in finding and pollenating the start of this year’s crops of vegetables, fruit, flowers and lots more.

The hens range freely and supply a steady flow of fresh eggs.  The Shop is fully stocked with the essentials that help keep dedicated plot holders on their seasonal track.

There’ll be refreshments throughout the day – FREE until THREE!  That’s hot & cold drinks of choice with nibbles, cakes, biscuits, and salad with barbequed sausages and burgers; all while stocks last, so come early for an alfresco lunchtime experience PAA-style – a glass of your own wine is welcome at your own discretion.

And, new this year, the PAA will be offering guided allotment tours spread through the day, when guests and visitors can savour the stories behind the event’s happenings on the allotments in your community – see you on Saturday 16 July?

 … & COMING LATER

Keep free for Saturday 6 August – VEGETABLE SHOW.offs 2016 is coming and will be your chance to enjoy the Allotments’, Best of the season so far.

Get advice about staying safe whether at home, work, online or out and about at a special event taking place at the CentreMK, Milton Keynes, Friday 29 and Saturday 30 April.

Co-ordinated by Thames Valley Police, police teams will be on-hand alongside partners and charities including Crimestoppers, online security advice service Get Safe Online and Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service, to speak to you.

The Keeping Safe in Thames Valley event takes place in Middleton Hall from 9.30am-4pm.

On Friday (29/4), Get Safe Online will be running three workshops through the day to deliver online safety advice to local school pupils, a group of older people and Thames Valley businesses.

While the event is happening in Milton Keynes, it is open to Thames Valley residents of all ages and will provide a great opportunity to ask questions and get advice in an informal setting.

There will be a display organised by the Roads Policing Team and interactive games and activities.
