Due to the recent weather and flooding down at the at Mill Lane Allotments, Digging Deeside has been suspended for the last few weeks.

Unfortunately the allotment clean up has not yet been completed and therefore RainbowBiz CIC has been seeking an alternative space to undertake the project indoors.

We are delighted to say that the new board at Connah's Quay Labour Club have stepped in to offer their space along with refreshments.

Digging Deeside will now meet on Tuesdays 1pm - 3pm at:

Labour Club
Fron Road
Connah's Quay
Deeside
CH5 4PJ

We will look to return to the usually outdoor activities at the allotment in the near future. At the Labour club we will offer Karaoke, Board Games and Crafting. There will be tea and coffee available at no cost. Soft drinks and nibbles can be bought from the Club. Thank you for your continued support.

PLEASE NOTE:

In the meantime the RainbowBiz CIC Board would ask all attendees to Digging Deeside to please NOT visit Mill Lane Allotments due to it being hazardous underfoot around the entrance to the site.
