This will be on August 11, at Edendale, 10am to 1pm. Bring a friend and some lunch to share-local produce would be special! You are all invited (and it will be fun!). Come along with ideas for Harvest month activities and re-energising Food Swaps. The AGM is early this year so all membership subs are due before August 11. Please see the website for details.
