Hi Louise! Look forward to meeting you a week from Wednesday.
Hi Richard! Yes, you're welcome to take pictures whenever you like. Thanks for the news about the water butt. I've sent you a draft of the new allotment information poster and look forward to your comments.
Great thanks, I've made a note in my diary to pop over on the 18th. Look forward to meeting you all then.

I have some meetings booked in on this Wednesday afternoon so can't do this time; I'll keep an eye on future dates then pop over to have a chat, hopefully following this I'll be able to bring a few extra hands.
Comment by Transition Kensal to Kilburn on May 5, 2011 at 21:27 Re Louise's comment - All are very welcome. Maggie Turp is the main point of contact for the Queens Park allotment. Also do come along to the food group meeting next wednesday 11th _ see events page _ to find out about all the other activities including community allotments that are going on.
Re Richard's comment - that is fantastic news re water butt.
Regards
George
Does anyone object of I take some photographs when you're working on the plots in Queen's Park? It will probably be over the next couple of weeks. I'm trying to capture various activities in the park and it will be useful for the Parks picture library. Richard Gentry.
PS. Maggie, the cafe have said yes to the water butt at the rear.
Hi everyone
I've been given info on the community allotment by a colleague at work as I'm currently looking for this type of activity for a small group of volunteers who live in the Queens Park area. Just wondering who might be the best person to talk to about this. Do you need more people to help? Look forward to hearing back. Louise
Next allotment meetings:
This Wednesday, May 4, at 2.00. We shall be building bean wigwams.
This Saturday, May 7th, at 12.30.
Wednesday 11th May at 2.00.
Sunday 15th May at 12.30. Please note the change of day. We shall carry on with the gardening club immediately after the seedling swap event outside the cafe and plant out anything we have swapped right away
Look forward to seeing you all! Maggie
