Apples Away!

Dig In are currently gathering apples for our forthcoming Apple Day event, which will be held on the Albany Allotment site, Pasture Road, Stapleford. NG9 8HZ (near the Man of Iron pub).

The event will run from 11am to 3pm on Saturday 22nd September 2012 and admission is free.

The numerous boxes of apples in the photo were generously donated by Ben Grundy and freshly picked by Dig In volunteers.

Apple Day 2011

The Dig In Apple Day event was held on September 24th. The weather was perfect, and the volunteers worked very hard to ensure the event was a great success. Everyone I spoke too said they had a wonderful time, enjoying apple related food and refreshments as well as the various activities. We had over 100 visitors, and very positive feedback was received.

Over £90 was raised on the day through a raffle and donations, which will be put to good use for repairs, gardening equipment and other items needed for the project.

Chris Davis, a Dig In volunteer with a keen interest in photography was our official photographer for the event, and has provided some fantastic images which I have put together as a montage to give a flavour of the event. Please click here for pdf version.
