On Wednesday 29th May we travelled on the beautiful 1950’s United Coach ran by Aycliffe and District Bus Preservation Society to Dobbies garden centre in Birtley where we enjoyed a lovely afternoon. We were given a talk on planting pots, hanging baskets and other gardening tips. After which we were treated to a great afternoon tea with lots of sandwiches, cakes and unending pots of tea and coffee, we all left with a doggie bag of food. This trip was funded through Great Aycliffe and Middridge Partnership and supported by Tesco. This support, and that of others, helps us to continue our work providing community building trips and events involving everyone.
