A short post to let everyone know that now Hadfield Hall is available for meetings, Dig Hadfield will be availing itself of this opportunity to use a public venue and will henceforth meet there on the first Tuesday of each month at 7.30pm.

Lack of a suitable venue in Hadfield had previously led us to meet privately so we are grateful that Hadfield Hall has now become available, thanks to the hard work of volunteers within the Friends group. Please find full details below.

Tuesday August 2^nd 2011

7.30 pm

at

Hadfield Hall

(near the Railway Station

and adjacent to the War Memorial)

================

We are a group of residents working with High Peak Borough Council to provide much needed allotments for the people of Hadfield.

We now host our monthly meetings at Hadfield Hall. They are held on the first Tuesday of each month commencing 7.30pm.

If you are interested in working an allotment, campaigning for them or just want to find out more, then why not pop in and join us?

ALL WELCOME

Right Your Own Plot

Hi Folks,

Posted this interesting, if rather short article on being a new plotholder, which hopefully some of us will be before we reach the age of retirement. One wonders though, given the sloth like approach of High Peak Borough Council towards the subject!

I have culled both the picture and the article, in its entirety, straight from the Independent On Sunday 3/4/11 though I'm sure that neither the author Emma Townshend nor the Independent On Sunday will sue, now that I've cited my source and given them free publicity!

I have another article from the same magazine which I will publish shortly on the subject of beekeeping. Also note that there are three book references on the right hand panel of the article. You will have time to read them all many times over before you get your own plot off High Peak Borough Council but at least you'll have the theory sorted!

GLOSSOPDALE LOCAL PRODUCE MARKET

Glossopdale local produce market has been initiated by High Peak Borough Council to help promote both tourism and the local economy.

Emboldened by the soar-away success of similar events late last year, the Borough Council has lined up no fewer than 11 Glossopdale Local Produce Markets for the coming year.

Taking place on Glossop Outdoor Market on the second Saturday of the month, the sales will allow shoppers to go straight to the producer for mouth-watering foods including meat, eggs, regional cheeses, cakes and preserves.

Hand-crafted gifts and art work will also be showcased at the monthly extravaganzas running from 9am to 3pm on March 12, April 9, May 14, June 11, July 9, August 13, September 10, October 8, November 12 and December 10.

Food items for sale include meat, sausages, eggs, regional cheeses, cakes and preserves. As the event takes place every second Saturday in the month, it means the next one is this coming Saturday 12th March.

Fresh quality local food and an opportunity for all of us to reduce our food mileage makes this an event well worth supporting.
