During March and April the Trust held various consultation events to establish what the residents views were on how to use the greenspace at Buckie Pond.. The Trust with Melville Housing, Midlothian Council and Living Streets worked in partenership on this project. 

Final Outline Plans have now been drawn up and the Trust is currently applying for funding to take this project forward.

 

A Daffodil Tea Morning took place on the 11th April 2009 in the MAEDT office at 12 Bogwood Court, Mayfield.  We held a competition for best bonnets and best decorated hard boiled eggs..  These were judged in three categories and prizes awarded for Nursery, Primary school children and Adults. 

The Mind When group organised an exhibition last year, where people from the community had the opportunity to look over old photographs, news cutting and artefacts as well as participanting in days gone by activities.

The Mind When group met every Wednesday at 1.00pm - 3.00pm at the MAEDT office 12 Bogwood Court Mayfield. MAEDT, wants to record the living history of Mayfield and Easthouses but we need people to tell us their history and we need people to record that history. We hope to start another Social History Project.  If you are interested please contact us at the MAEDT Centre.

 

 

 

          

 

 

 Landshare Pilot Scheme

 MAEDT  has been awarded funding to run a landshare pilot scheme.  We have identified six gardens in the community which volunteers will plant with all types of vegetables.  The householder, the volunteer gardener and MAEDT will all share a percentage of the produce and all parties will sign a land share agreement.  MAEDT hopes to recruit the help of our Garden Competition entrants to use their expertise in growing the vegetables.  If the pilot scheme is successful MAEDT feels this scheme will be very beneficial to the community, especially at this time of economic decline and hardship.  Please contact us if you would like to be a volunteer gardener or if you have land you would like to share.  Maedt’s share of the vegetables from the pilot scheme will be given to the community.  The Trust will use the Toot for Fruit van to distribute the vegetables if the pilot scheme proves to be a success.
