meeting 16 march 2010

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your support over the last week or so, we've come a long way in terms of setting the Association up. We've organised a meeting
in the Haven Pub in Cellardyke for Tuesday the 16th March at 1930hrs. Peter Duncan the Fife Council Allotments Officer has agreed to attend and
address the group and answer any questions that you may have. So this meeting would be a good one to attend if possible.

I had a couple of productive meetings on Saturday, one with Peter Duncan in the morning, and the other with Lady Catherine Erskine from Cambo Estate
which I'll go through on the night of the 16th.

If anyone has any items for the agenda on the 16th, please could you forward them to Rhona McLaren the Allotments Secretary (allotments.secretary@hotmail.com)
and that will allow her to form an agenda for the evening. Please click this link to see attached document which is the minutes taken of our inaugural meeting held last Monday night.

Take care

Carl
