Here's an update for you.</p> <p>Please reply directly to me or start a discussion on the discussion list (<a href="https://groups.google.com/group/abundance-edinburgh-spraff" rel="nofollow">https://groups.google.com/group/abundance-edinburgh-spraff</a>) if you want to respond to anything in the update. Please feedback too as to how you feel the group communication is going.</p> <p>Events coming up:</p> <p>Abundance Wednesday 25th August, 6-9pm. Foraging/picking/flyering/scouting walks! All singing all dancing Abundance action! Rob, Ross and I will lead 3 separate walks in different parts of the city to do some scouting and flyering of private gardens with fruit trees as well as any foraging/picking available (possibly berries, possibly some wild apples and plums). Then we'll all meet centrally for a beverage. Rob's going to do his neighbourhood (starting in Hillside) and I'm keen to flyer the Grange/Newington and to go to the Hermitage of Braid. Ross has yet to pick an area, we'll get back to you. I'll e-mail meeting points once Ross has let me know.<br /> If you want to join in, it'd be good if you could let me know so that we know who to wait around for. I can text you or call you if it's easier than checking e-mails.</p> <p>Meadows Picnic, Saturday 27th August, 1-3pm. Hopefully we can do some foraging or picking in the morning to have some local fruit. Please let me know if you can help out.<br /> Opportunities! If you're interested in doing any of these, please let me know:</p> <p>Saturday 3rd September. Bridgend Inspiring Growth Community Skillshare, 2-5pm. Bridgend Inspiring is a local voluntary group working towards the renovation of Bridgend farmhouse to become a community owned and led multi-purpose centre promoting sustainable living practices and outdoor learning. They have asked if Abundance would like to run a workshop at their skill share afternoon (e.g. home brewing, foraging, jam making). In the Cameron Toll area. I can't make this but it'd be good to join in!</p> <p>Saturday 3rd September. Midmar Allotment Open Day, 2-5pm. A good opportunity to check out a lovely allotment site and to spread the word about Abundance to potential pickers and tree owners. In the Blackford area.</p> <p>Sunday 11th September. Federation of Edinburgh and District Allotment annual show, 1-2.30pm. Again, a chance to talk to allotmentiers about Abundance (and see some prize winning fruit and veg, I think!).
