Hi Jo,

Sorry to take so long getting back to you. I have not looked at this
yahoogroup account over xmas.
Eastside Roots is now running both the Trinity and the Stapleton Road
site. I will answer for the Trinity site as it is what I know about and
leave someone else to respond regarding the Stapleton Road site.

Work is steaming along at the Trinity. We have dug loads of beds over
the winter and ordered in tons of compost and manure. We have got some
good beds of lettuce and broad beans and the garlic is starting to come
up now. There have been weekly workdays usually attended by 10 or so
people, even in the depths of winter. This is an exciting time to be
involved, because spring is on the way (well, in a couple of months...).
We have a workday every Tuesday, which I co-ordinate at the moment. I
get there for 11 at the latest, and stay till 4 or so.
Other volunteers turn up as and when they feel like it. Some people do
the whole day, some people come by for a cup of tea.

If Tuesday is inconvenient, don't give up, as there are plans afoot to
do a Friday session as well in the near future.
And BCTV people would be very welcome as well. We will be making our
plans for how we will further develop the site together in the next few
weeks, after which time we will require armies of helpers to make it
happen!

Thanks,

Tom
