Sutton Farm Community Cafe

Some volunteers from Shropshire Master Composters have been helping to teach residents around Sutton Farm in Shrewsbury all about home composting.  We took along our display of home composting bins and some compost and worms and gave a talk about the basics of how to compost, and what types of material work best for home composting.   Around 25 people turned up for the talk which went down very well with the enthusiastic audience.

Sutton Farm Community Cafe, is a new initiative, set up by Shropshire Master Composter volunteer Jean Breakwell.  The aim is to help bring residents together for a cuppa, a chat and slice of (yummy!) cake.   It takes place every Thursday afternoon at the St. Giles Church Hall, which is on Sutton Way, Shrewsbury, SY2 6EF. 

Fair trade tea and home made cakes are available from 1:30pm-4.30pm.  Alot of residents bring along a book or a paper and just like to catch up with each other.  Many of the residents are enthusiastic knitters and so a bit of a knitting circle has formed around it and so rag rug making, knitting and crochet help is available.  Help with transport may be available on request.  For more information ring 01743-360519.
