FEVA 2024 was, despite the scorching heat a spectacular event! Thanks to the team of dedicated volunteers who made it happen. Many weeks' work were involved!
Our primary goal was to raise funds for KASHS and thanks to the overwhelming support, we surpassed our expectations. Key changes made a significant impact, including relocating the produce stall to the entrance, which increased visibility and sales. A dedicated team led by Sue Snow, with help from Jan Neale and Sarah Helm, did a stellar job of securing top prices for our donated goodies—cakes, jams, chutneys, vegetables and flowers.
We’ve lost some of our regular volunteers, so your participation would be greatly appreciated. Even if you can’t join at the start time, your help at any point during the morning will really make a difference. We’re also on the lookout for additional hedge cutters, so if you have one, please bring it along. We always need extra hands for our regular Friday working party. If you’re available to help on Friday mornings, please contact Robs Snow, so your name can be added to the email group.
To minimize any disturbances to our neighbours, we plan to hold it at night. Last year’s wet autumn made the bonfire tricky, so please start collecting suitable materials like wood and sunflower stalks early and allow them to dry out. Please keep the items on your plot for now and we’ll let you know where to place them for the bonfire, nearer the time
Remember that the plot-holders contract sets a tree height limit of 3 metres. If you are planning to cut back your trees, the prunings could go on the bonfire.
With a promising apple crop this year, it’s the perfect time to dust off the apple press and enjoy some community
juicing. It’s a great opportunity to come together, share tips and make
some delicious apple juice.
We look forward to seeing you there!
