Engineering Employment Training
2023-08-30 • No comments • • Garnock Valley
We are looking to develop a training programme that will have direct links to a modern apprenticeship in engineering. Our intention is to purchase an engine and then design and manufacture a sit on Lawnmower that the young people will be able to use in British Lawnmower Racing Association event. Between 6-8 young people with an interest in engineering will be selected to attend a weekly training sessions lasting 90 minutes. During this time the young people will design, manufacture and assemble the sit on lawnmower. The one off payment of £1000 will be used to purchase an engine and through this purchase we will be able to recycle all parts and adapt the design each year to offer a similar opportunity to more young people every year.

Garnock Valley Allotment Association- Bee Colony Project ( Honey production )

Garnock Valley Allotment Association Bee Colony and Honey Production.
Bees are pollinators. Pollinators are vital for life on earth as we know it, without them we wouldnt have potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes, coffee,chocolate, cotton or honey. However Bee populations are in danger of extinction due to a number of factors such as disease, habitat loss and the impact of pesticides. Organic food production, which is practiced at the Garnock Valley Allotment Associiation is ideal for a Bee colony as it creates a safe haven for the Bees to survive. Please Bee kind and vote for the GVAA Bee Colony Project.
