The Town Clerk, Mr Mark Williams, informed the committee that Falmouth Town Council provided awards for worthy causes. So it was decided to submit a bid for £1000 towards the replacement school and community shed, the extra taps, the groundworks to A site, improved security and extending the clubhouse. These are all items in our current Big Lottery bid.

Do you want to boost your tomato crop and improve the yield and quality of your produce? Richard Viner (John Muir's Associate Member) has many years of experience in horticulture around the world. He is kindly inviting society members to take part in a research programme in which tomatoes are grafted onto a rootstock. Richard is happy to purchase the rootstock seed and special clips, and hopes that as many members who are interested will be able to produce some grafted plants using their own variety as the scion to compare with existing lines on their own roots. No expense from members except a little work and good luck- surgery is never perfect, the odd loss can be expected.  Information and contact details are available.... Tomato Grafting Proposal
