Message for Greg and David, Chandler’s Ford group:-
It seems I am missing many great events in the next couple of weeks! As I mentioned at the last meeting I will be away from Monday 12th to Thursday 22nd Sept, so my apologies for not attending the meetings, etc. I have, however, signed up for the foraging on the 25th and plan to go to the “bee” gathering in October.
Do hope all goes well with the various activities. Have fun! J
Hi Jean,
Thanks for letting us know, have a great holiday, and it’ll be great to see you at the Fungal Foraging on the 25th, and the Bee Friendly event on 9th October.
See you soon,
Greg
Hello there, just found out about your farm and would like to attend events and volunteer sometimes.
Please let me know if theres any proceedure or if one may just turn up on the day.
Would also be interested in ant lift sharing from Southampton because I don’t have a car.
Thank you,
