P.S. Country Life may be attending so those of you with posh wellies please either polish them or get them extra-muddy.

Equipment donations are very useful to FLF. There is now a Donating page under the Volunteering menu that lists things we could do with, preferably for free, and might even be able to collect.

If you can think of more items to request or can help with some already on the list do let me know. The list has to stay up-to-date to remain useful.

Here’s a little Green maxim:

Do Without | Reuse | Donate | Recycle | Buy Recycled

Bring your own lunch – at the FLF site at Runfold (unless the weather is really bad)

Sun. 4 December 2011, 10:30 – 14:30

POSTPONED UNTIL THE SPRING – sorry, most people are just too busy

Training by David; cost £6 (£2 for materials and £4 to FLF)

If possible, bring the tools you already have and want to learn to use better.

This one is Susie’s suggestion. Learn how to join wood to wood and to walls economically, accurately and reliably; how (and why) to use Pilot holes and Clearance holes; which drills, screws, nails, plugs and other tools to use for which jobs; and why you don’t need a 1000W electric drill for any of this.

Please reply to give me an idea of the quantity of materials to be prepared but you won’t be charged for expressing interest and not turning up on the day.

For subscribers to Which? magazine, here is a review of ten veg-growing books just out.

For everyone else, here is information on growing vegetables that does not require you to sign in. This includes a ‘Fruit and Veg for Less Money’ page that gives a rough idea of how much you can save by growing your own – or growing with us.
