Spuds in Buckets
10 March - 13 September 2008
NO - NOT A VARIATION ON JACKET POTATOES - this is a new fund-raising venture
for St Mary's Church. In order to raise money to build a much-needed toilet
in church - The Maryloo Project - we have devised a community-wide venture
which we hope will appeal to all ages.
For a payment of just £5 a family or individual or group (Cubs, Youth Club?) will receive a bucket and seed potatoes. Buckets will be available from 10 March and purchasers then have until the Village Harvest Show on Saturday 13 September to grow the heaviest yield possible. Here's a challenge for a farming parish! Can you grow more potatoes than your neighbours? Can children do better than their parents? Are your fingers greener than those of the allotment holders? Is your home-made compost the secret of success? Can the farmers beat the office workers? Will we be beaten by growers from Reach or Burwell?
Don't miss out on Swaffham Prior's great Spud growing challenge! To order a bucket, please contact Dee Noyes
