A few good news our way. Dont forget to tell your neighbour.


1. We created an Incorporated association: The Otford Community and Garden Association.
A membership application  will be available at the inauguration or you can require one here.

So we now have a bank account and an insurance.

2. We are putting together a party for the Sunday 1st of July 2012, from 10 am to 5pm at the tennis court.
The program can be seen here.
We'll have free french pancakes, BYO BBQ, PLANT A POTATO SPUD and 2 music bands.
At 2.00 pm we'll have John and Wolf.
At 3.30 pm we'll have Chris (from  http://bhanglassi.com/ )& Shaun (from http://soundcloud.com/chokoh-1)

We'll prepare the potato beds on Saturday 30 June 2012, from 10 am till 4pm. Anyone can join.

This has been possible with the support of SoilCo and Otford Farm.

Meeting 3: An association to be created and the preparation of the 'inauguration'

It was a very sunny day and we all discussed with great enthusiasm about the future of our activity. Everybody was quite motivated to start the potato patch and to create an event.
We also agreed on the creation of an association in order to an organised entity and to be able to puchase an insurance, so that our activities would be covered. This would also allow us to receive and manage possible. grants

The 'event' objective is to gather more people and possibly the one who didnt get the information, mostly exchange via internet. The idea is also to explain what the 'purpose' of the association is by actually 'transforming it into action': gardening, getting together and creating a place in Otford where we can have good time together. 

We had an other small meeting on the following Wednesday and we agreed on the final administrative details. So we filled out the form to have an association. The current committee is composed of Gaetane, Andrew, Adam and Lucy. James and Phil will also help.

So the 'inauguration' party is on the 1st of July and we'll start working on the potato patch on the 30th.

See more in 'events'.

Cheers.
