Hello from Eastside Roots
Harvest Fayre:
Big thanks to everyone who came to our Community Harvest Fayre it was a really great day....and rain free! But an even bigger thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make it happen before hand & on the day, all the workshops leaders who gave their skills & time for free, all the bands & performers who entertained us and not forgetting the stall holders. Congratulations to the Harvest Hamper winners - what a beautiful bounty!
Dance for the Plants:
To help cover the costs of this free event we are holding a benefit night at The Plough, Kilburn Street, Easton (opposite the community centre) - Dance for the Plants - this Friday, 12th September, from 9pm to very late. DJs on the night are Steve Astronaut (previously Knights of the Occasional Table), Samwize Dub & DJs Green & fingers.... bringing you the finest mash up of kleizmer, gypsy, celtic sounds, balkan bangers, ska, world beats & conscious dub dance. Suggested donation of £3 on the door plus cake sale (if you have a chance to bake a cake please bring along). The festival season may be over but you can still enjoy great music with a friendly crowd - see you there.
Volunteering News:
We are at Trinity Garden (Trinity Road, Old Market) as usual today but there is no Friday volunteer day at Stapelton Road Train Station for the next two weeks - sorry. We are at the station on Tuesdays and Wednesdays as normal however and there is still lots to do to get the site ready for opening daily as a Community Garden Hub. We will be starting a Saturday volunteer session very soon: watch this space.
Dates for Your Diary (further details to follow):
4th October: Foraged herbal tea party at Stapleton Road Train Station with food & games & more!
15th October: Wild food walk (part of city wide 'Share the Harvest' events)
16th October: Trinity Apple Day - use a apple press, taste different apples, prize for longest apple peel, buy some fresh juice. Trinity Garden, Old Market.
19th October: Food Swap 2-4pm @ Stapelton Road Train Station: bring food you have grown, picked, cooked or prepared and swap with others (part of Share the Harvest).

If you wish to run an event, workshop or activity at the Station/Trinity....or have a great idea....just get in touch (Nick 07810 806 354).
