The first of several steps was taken this morning to begin to assemble the framework for our marquee at the Melplash Show. A group of trusty volunteers enjoyed the challenge of raising the bee net in far from ideal conditions.
Please remember that we are always glad to receive offers of help – don’t wait to be asked! Please take the initiative and if you can spare a bit of time either before or during the event we would be most grateful. Contact Caroline Dilke (01297 678741) to book your slot to help on the all important fundraising cake stall. If you can spare time to bake some honey cakes – buns, shortbread, scones, flapjack etc – we would be delighted. You are welcome to drop them off before the show to Carole (01308 456210).
The bees will move down to their temporary enclosure on Monday evening and the set up team will return on Tuesday evening from 6.15pm to set out the tables, chairs etc in the marquee – again … many hands make light work.
We hope to see you there … !
Fingers crossed for an improving weather picture as the week progresses.
See you on Thursday.
