GRANT DONATION FROM C&B NEWS
|
We applied to the C&B News last month for a grant to help us out with tool replacement (but they couldn't see their way to replacing Stewart😈) Instead, they awarded us £250. I've written to Ros Salton, their Donations Manager, thanking them for their grant.

SMSA SHED OF THE YEAR AWARD 2026
|
We're going ahead with a shot at the SOTY. I think we now have enough material. Nigel is going to work his journalistic 'magic' and send our entry forward.
|
|
Here's an email I received from James Bell, the Head Gardener at Malleny...
|
|
I hope everyone is well. Looking forward welcoming everyone at the weekend and thank you for offering to come along to the Plant Fayre.
|
|
We will begin setup from 8am. The garden will open to visitors from 10am. We aim to finish setup by 9.40am. The Plant Fayre is due to finish at 3pm, and we will begin break down after this time. The garden itself will remain open to visitors until 5pm.
|
|
If you bring your vehicle to the front of Malleny House, EH14 7AF, (What3Word location ///elder.doubt.educated) and offload there. The Fayre will be in the walled garden, so everything will need to moved by hand/trolly into the garden. We will have volunteers here on the day, so some assistance can be provided. After unloading, we will need vehicles moved from the front of the house to the nearby public carpark at Currie Rugby Club (What3Word location ///announce.deprives.launched). If you need regular access to your vehicle we may be able to make alternative arrangements – Please let me know. There will be around a dozen vehicles arriving, so a queue is likely.
|
|
In the garden, everyone will have a 3m x 3m Gazebo space available (unless alternate space is already arranged). We won’t provide a gazebo or table (unless already arranged).
|
I’ll meet everyone as they arrive and direct you to an appropriate space in the garden. We will also highlight where toilet facilities are.
|
That's about it for this week folks, stay safe and warm.
