NEXT STEPS
VISIT.
Members of the Next
Steps project from Malton visited the Participaction site on Fri 20 th Aug.
The visitors enjoyed a guided tour around the site, and socialising with Participaction members over a barbecue lunch. It is hoped a return visit to
next steps in Malton can be organised for the winter months.

WEEDING CONTINUES.
Recent heavy rain and warm temps have caused a late
season growth spurt for weeds. Participaction members have been kept very
busy weeding the site.

WATER PROJECT NEARS
COMPLETION.
The project to collect water from the
drainage area at Stainsacre is now all but complete. Under the supervision of
Tony Murphy project members have set up large water Troughs to collect drainage
water in the woodland at the bottom of the participaction site at Stainsacre.
The water is then pumped (generator powered) to the water butts on site. The
next stage of the project will be to place guttering on all participaction
buildings to further direct rain water into the butts.
This picture Shows the water trough at the bottom left of the Participaction
Site where water draining off the gardens above is collected to be pumped back
up to the water butts within the garden area. A second collecting trough will
soon be purchased and connected into the system.

VEG SALES.
Veg Sales are going well with members of
the public visiting to buy fresh quality produce on Fridays and Tuesdays. Some
of the produce is also being sold to local Shops. All funds go back Towards next
years growing projects.
