    • Gayton Gardeners and Allotment Society – Spring 2023

      It’s that exciting time of year and once again we can start planning and preparing for this seasons fruit and veg. By the time you read this my allotment and garden will be filling up with hopeful sowings of spinach, beetroot, parsnips and maybe something unusual like scorzenera. I’m determined this year, what with the price and scarcity of some salad crops, to get a good succession of lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and other salady bits, not to mention the odd wonky parsnip of course.

      The allotment site is a wonderful place to be at any time of year and there’s nearly always someone around to give a friendly wave or a bit of advice. There are around 50 plots of varying sizes and at the time of writing we have 2 or 3 plots available should anyone like to have a go?

      Contact Carl Hamilton if you’d like a look around and a chat (07547 380907).

      We usually have a few events in our calendar, including a garden visit, a wonderful BBQ , but the big event this year will be the Gayton Fete which will take place at the Village Hall on September 16th. It is shaping up to be a fun event, with various show classes to enter, possibly a dog demo, lunches available and the obligatory Wonky veg competition!

      Our next meeting, which is open to all Villagers is on April 17th at the Village Hall. Meanwhile please scan through the list of Classes and see if there’s anything that takes your fancy. We have one or two stallholders already interested and it would be nice to see a few more, possibly children’s or handicraft stalls, please get in touch with me if you are interested. There will be more information available as we get nearer to the event. We already have 4 judges lined up, including Richard and Judy!!

    • Chain Gang

      There are a group of “willing volunteers” who are helping to keep the stiles, footpaths, pavements & footways in the Parish clear. We have been restricted recently due to poor weather but therea re some stiles that need some maintenance as well as the footways on Blisworth Road and Back Lane that need some attention. We tend to work weekdays as the team are all retired, However, I do plan to offer some dates at weekends to attract others.

      I understand that “Chain Gang” is not very PC as it smacks off slavery. I have consulted the Cambridge dictionary and can confirm that the definition is “a group of prisoners who have to work outdoors outside the prison whilst tied together with chains. No mention of slaves. An apt description of our Gaytn group!
