Fete on the Triangle 2017 - To get it going.

Posted by Alex King on January 28, 2017 at 1:52pm in Community News, Info, Issues

Palace Gates summer fete has been held every year for the last 6 years, and we'd like to do it again this year. We have a date when the excellent regular local band - The Three Deuces - are free: Sunday 18th June. There will be some pressures on our regular helpers this year, and some possible absences, so to make it work we do need some more helpers this year, on the day, and with some of the preparations.

Beforehand, we need some people to look after plants and grow them on to be ready for sale on the plant stall; on the day, help with setting up the gazebos, and running the plant, cake, refreshment and children's games stalls. So if you've enjoyed the fete in the past, or would like to come and find out how it works, please think about giving us a few hours of your time, to make it a success. It's a fairly smooth operation, but there's nevertheless a good deal to do.

The proceeds from the fete go towards the work of Palace Gates Residents Association, mainly to support the street gardening projects at the Triangle and at the Albert Road/Crescent Road junction. (See the PGRA website at http://www.palacegatesra.info/)

I can donate some courgette, squash and pumpkin plants that I don't have room for at my allotment. I'll drop them off on Sunday when the team are setting up.

Hi Alex, I could do some plant nurturing/potting on etc...

  Thanks for these plant care offers. The more the merrier as it allows us to cope with more stock. There'll be plug-plants coming in late April. We'll sort out distribution nearer the time.

I'd like to help out with the children's art and crafts stall as in previous years, so sign me up!

  Thanks a lot Susie, that's great.
  
  We could also seriously use some people to take in a few small plants in the spring and grow them on, so if anyone can help with that, please let me know.

  I'm good for 3 or 4 geraniums, or something equivalently hardy.
