Creative waste Exchange.As some of you are probably aware, Neeps has had Community membership for the last year.
The subscription is now up for renewal and I would like to find out how much it has been used before we consider paying for another year.
Another aspect that concerns me is that the latest newsletter said that they were relocating to central Aberdeen. Dyce was quite handy with it's own car park. I certainly can't see myself trying to find somewhere to park in Aberdeen and then carrying goods through the streets.
Let us know your feelings please

Did they say whereabouts in Aberdeen Sass?
It might make a difference to how people think, depending on where it is going to be.

The new premises will be at Poynernook Road - if you go down Market Street towards Torry on your right side is the Quick Fit - we are down the little road you take off Market Street to get to Quick Fit - and we will be opposite them. Parking will be limited. We will still offer a delivery service.
Hope you continue to be members - always helps for disposing of material as much as purchasing.
Hope some of you can make it down this Saturday.
Cheers

Maria - not sure whether you received a pm from me but we also run a food co-op that you might be interested in. Our next meeting is the same day as the Master Composter event at Wark Farm (See what's on thread for more info) and we're just down the road, so if you fancied joining us you would be more than welcome.

At the moment Neeps does not have membership as an organisation. We were waiting to find out how accessible the new premises in central Aberdeen were going to be before we paid out the subscription.j

Thanks wildgarlic. Checked link, looks good. Looking forward to hearing where they relocate...although I'm not keen on the journey to Ab it sounds like it might be worth a peek.
Didn't get the pm? Will see what my family say about me buzzing off for the day as I do like the sound of the coop and compost event...well thinking about it, they'll prob just give me 'the look' and ask if it's about vegatables again

Creative Waste ExchangeAberdeen Forward have now moved to
2 Poynernook Road, Aberdeen. AB11 5RW. Tel: 01224 213736
It is a centre of town location, just off Market Street, opposite the entrance to Quick Fit. The parking is limited, but we do have options for people picking up or dropping off large items.
The new exchange is located in "better" surroundings, with three areas with materials segregated into different areas.
Well worth a visit
