THE PLAY
Please note that the TICKETS for the play 'Losing the Plot' on October 13th at 1.00 p.m. are now available.
Admission will be by ticket only. Tickets do not need to be paid for in advance (the theatre company will be taking up a collection at the end of the performance)
There are only 100 tickets, we're trying to ensure that plot-holders get priority, then the rest can go to others who've supported the society this year (local residents, the judges from the Show, our local councillors, etc.)
You can get yours from any Committee member or by calling Margaret on 01204 844727 or emailing us at harperslaneallotmentssociety@yahoo.co.uk
Don't miss out!

OPEN DAY
Despite the occasional downpour Open Day on August 12th was a great success.
We estimate that around 500 people came onto the site during the afternoon.
The two new marquees worked wonderfully - many thanks to Bolton CVS and the Big Bolton Small Grants Programme for the grant that enabled us to buy them.
We raised around £580 for Society funds - as usual the Tombolas were major contributors (£227) and this year the cafe raised more than £250 - plus the Hospice raised over £125 in collections
Many thanks to everyone who helped (and to Bolton Council, St Peters Church and Peter Williams for the loan of chairs and tables) and to all the people who had stalls or ran games etc. Special thanks to the dancers and the Soya Band, much enjoyed by everyone. Special thanks too, to the teams who erected and then dismantled the marquees.
We're hoping to publish a set of photos and the Show results in the next couple of weeks, but just now we all need a chance to recharge our batteries. Next stop the play!
