Green Dad hits a prolific patch

Green Dad has expanded his cyber-output to twitter and facebook. The Gurn sends feeds to twitter but has never bothered with facebook, if there is every anything sufficiently interesting someone will usually link to it from their facebook account.

Facebook is an good tool for Community pages too and with that in mind please note the campaign to find Ruraidh continues too. Perhaps the biggest and most influential facebook campaign in Nairn was the Save the Swimming Pool pages.

According to the group Talk About Local the use of people extending their use of facebook from the personal to the community space is a major trend. They have a page "Ways of building communities on Facebook" which may interest some gurnites.

Green Dad's Allotment excitement

Green Dad tells it like it was last night in the Waverly Hotel as thirty plus individuals met to discuss the progress of the Mill Road site. Nairn Allotment Society, with the help of Highland Council and Leader funding are well ahead with their plans and the site should be open early in April.

The Society now administer three sites, Sandown, Mill Road and a 'secret' garden just off the High Street but already with all places now taken at Mill Road they are looking ahead and want to work with developers, landowners etc to provide more allotment areas around the town and beyond and in any new schemes that spring up too.

Here's Green Dad's excellent report of the meeting and here's the Society's site. If you would like to be on the waiting list or generally join in with campaigning for more allotments in Nairnshire then send them your details.
