you’re welcome
Every Saturday morning this organic and fair trade market is run by a group of local volunteers. But there’s always more to do here than we can cope with
helpexchange volunteers are welcome to join in maintaining the house and gardens and working to keep the service going. Volunteers live as part of the family. As well as the food co-op you can give a helping hand to some of the other things that go on here: the weekly café and exhibitions in the town hall, the weekly community cinema, events and exhibitions at the local arts centre, café and craftshop, Penicuik pottery, Ladywood leisure centre. You’ll meet a range of local craftspeople. You’ll be
· part of the family and the community
· at the heart of an attractive small town
· in the country with valleys and hills right beside you
· within reach of the heart of
·
served by
· in a place where you can find quiet and peace and the joys of nature
There’s lots to see and do round about. If you want you can join the local volunteers in a singing group in Rosslyn chapel and other ancient vaulted spaces nearby.
You may a chance to learn craft skills like pottery, breadmaking
and spinning, lots of conversation if you want it, and plenty of books and
films to talk about.
And in 2012 there’s a big project:
