Hi Everyone,Just a quick line to let you know that the next meeting (only the second) of Dig Hadfield will be held at the New Lamp, Bankbottom, Hadfield at 7.30pm on Tuesday 25th November. Anyone who lives in the area that is interested in the subject of allotments and who wants to help the group campaign for more of them is welcome to come along.
If you are unaware of what this new group are about, here is a potted history of Dig Hadfield to date. The newly formed group originated from a blogpost on this very blog entitled Not A Lotta Allotments which attracted a lot of comment and interest.
Consequently it was raised as an Agenda item at the September meeting, which resulted in everyone who had expressed an interest being contacted for an inaugural meeting which happened in October. At the meeting the name Dig Hadfield was decided upon and the newly formed group decided to become an autonomous organisation with the aim of procuring allotments specifically in Hadfield, since all who attended lived in the village, whilst Tintwistle itself actually has an oversupply of allotments.
At the meeting, it was decided to promote the group via a poster campaign and a press release. Ralph Bennett agreed to do the poster, that is reproduced below and which was distributed around local shops with a view to broadening the campaign and building the meeting.
Since then, Dig Hadfield have created their own blog, which can be found by clicking here. Thus, our own e-mail address shown on the poster is no longer required as the group now have their own e-mail contact address which is dighadfield@gmail.com which can always be found in the top right hand corner of their blog.
That, in a nutshell is the history, brief as it is of Dig Hadfield. So if you're interested in what they have been set up to achieve then please feel free to come along to their next meeting, which once again is at: The New Lamp, Bankbottom, Hadfield, on Tuesday 25th November at 7.30pm.
The editor of the Dig Hadfield blog informs me that Cllr. Graham Oakley who is a member of Glossop and District Allotment Association will be in attendance.
