We've been to a few 'training courses' most were conducted by 20 yr olds and we usually ended upo giving them information. censored: It is infuriating. Thursday will see us networking at a launch of yet another grant funded project. noooo:

We have just put a proposal to the council to reclaim some allotments which were contaminated  in a flood several years ago.  If we are successful we will be able to get regeneration grants but it wont pay us.  Still it will keep us out of mischief I suppose.
