Potato Day 2012

Transition Chesterfield will be selling seed potatoes, garlic, onions, and shallots at unbeatable prices once again, on 28 January 2012. This year we have 43 varieties of potatoes, 4 types of onions, 2 garlics, and eschalote grise, a gourmet shallot. Last year it was a real scrum and we sold out in less than two hours, so come early if you didn't get around to pre-ordering, as we have now passed the cut-of date to order from the suppliers. It will be in unit 23 (opp. Poundland), The Pavements, between 10 and 2.

The minutes of last year's AGM, and the constitution as amended at that meeting, are here. At the AGM, we elect a Secretary, a Treasurer, and three other members of the Core Group. Nominations for all of these posts are welcome at the meeting. There is, so far, nothing else on the agenda this year, apart from the reports from the Secretary and Treasurer.
