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.

Throughout the year we hold fundraising events such as Bingo nights and the Halloween Disco to help raise money to put towards our christmas lights switch on, Our current lights are currently outdated and are costing more and more to repair every year, we do try to replace as many lights as we can each year but taking into account the current finiancial situation within out community we try to provide as many free activities as we can on the night so that all families can attend and enjoy. Also we like to provide the kids with a little christmas light so they can take part in our torch and tinsel parade where they can join santa in a walk upto the town where the lights get switched on. Some of the activities we provide are Balloon Modelling, Face Painting, Mini Zoo, Santas Grotto, Alpacas, and a Fun Fair.
Balloon modelling £230
Face Painting £200
Mini Zoo £250
Give away lights for kids £400
