We are currently planning this talk, to take place in May. Please watch this space for full details of time, date and venue . --------------------------------------------------------------------- = Coronation Street comes to our allotments = As reported in the January edition of Grasscuttings (find it in the ‘Grasscuttings’ section of the website to read the full story), ITV will be using one of our plots to film a new story line for Coronation Street over the next few months. Filming will take place around a plot at the Glebeland Road end of our site. Therefore, so as not to interrupt continuity of filming, access to the site will not be available through the Glebelands Road entrance during filming sessions. The two entrances on Grosvenor Road will be open as usual. Planned filming dates and times will be given below as we are advised of them. == Planned Filming Schedule: == No filming dates are planned for the foreseeable future - please check again in the Autumn . --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
