Saltdean Fun Day June 2011

Sunny but as ever - windy, for our day at Saltdean Fund Day with the FoTT.  Blue sky, sun hats and plenty of sunscreen.

Setting up the stall doesn't take long and this time we brought along some of the tools to add to the display, especially as anything else was likely to get blown away, even though I'd tried to pin things down on our display board.

We also had a good selection of bird boxes that John Carden had brought down for us to display - along with bug boxes, butterfly boxes and a bat box.

Most of the stall holders ended up in the marquee as it was too windy for them outside.  In the time until the event officially opened I had a chance to whizz round the other stalls and pick up a few vegetable plants for the garden.

Lots of people came out in to the sunshine and we had a steady stream of people to talk to.  Many people have been impressed and enjoying the wild flowers on the Tye and wanted to know when the working horses would be back again.

As it proved so popular and we want to spread this year's seed even further, it looks as if it might well happen again later this year.  Keep your eyes out for details once dates have been finalised.

Thanks to all the new members who signed up on the day - we'll look forward to seeing you out on some of the tasks.
