So many things have been happening over the last few days, I've decided to use my very elementary blogging skills to record them and share them with the people who are about to become the Church Hill Road Garden Committee !
This has all come about through a few new developments. Whilst enjoying a delicious barbecue round at Mick and Margaret's the other Saturday, everyone was talking about 'Autumn Watch', which got me thinking...
Then chatting to the ever industrious Ivan and Carol over at the garden, Carol suggested we might qualify for one of the Breathing Places grants.
The next Saturday we pick up the scent at the Apple Day at the Vestry House Museum, where Michael notices they have the leaflets.
Miranda offers some encouragement, and promises she will soon be out in the garden, so off I go.
So far we acquired a Treasurers' Trust Account with Nationwide ( that's another story), where we have our deposit of £80, Mick is going to get the paint for the wall with his contribution.
We also have a letter heading, designed by Nathan, I can let you have a look at that, I hope !
And as if by magic, it worked !
I have a draft constitution for you all to look at and agree, we need this to qualify for a grant. I sort of rewrote one based on one used for a Croquet Club, it looks a bit formal but it does the job.
The next post will be about the work that's been going on in the garden itself. I'm finding it all quite exciting, I hope I'm not boring everyone else to death.
