It has been a lush summer around St Nicholas Church. The sun shone on the Summer Fair, the Dog Show and Garden Party. The wild flower meadow along Dyke Road has been blooming. Over at the Children’s Garden there are new signs, drawn by local children, and the young climbers are racing away along the high fences.
Photographs and more information are on the website. There is a mailing list there, which you can join to keep up with volunteer gardening days and special events.
Thursday – Sunday 26 – 29 May
It’s the last weekend in Brighton Festival, and SNGSA will be running a refreshment tent in the Rest Garden while the Globe Theatre is in residence.
Big thank-you to everyone who is helping with this!
Saturday 4 June – 11am – 4pm St Nicholas Summer Fete
SNGSA will have a little plant stall – if you have any plants to donate could you drop them off around 10 am at the Church?
Sunday 5 June – 12 – 4pm Big Picnic, Big Lunch
Come and join your neighbours in the Rest Garden. (This year with added portaloos)
There will be lots of things to occupy children, so that adults can have an uninterrupted chat!
Story-telling, finger puppets from recycled materials, musicians, bouncy castle. Free entry.
Help needed from 10 am putting up bunting and gazebos. Many hands make light work.
During the picnic – help at SNGSA table at the entrance. It will involve handing out info about the day and about SNGSA as people arrive, signing up new friends and handing out feedback forms as people leave. A nice sit-down job… would you be able to help for an hour or half an hour? Please say yes!
