It's the 1st of October which means that we're officially in Spooky Season!

The decorations will be going up here at GCCP and we've got our See You in the Garden Halloween Party on Saturday 31st October and we're running a Pumpkin Sweepstakes. We've got four giant Atlantic pumpkins growing in our garden, each named for long time friends of the Project: Tom, George, Kati and Leanne. For £1 you can pick a name and what size you think it'll grow to (we're using circumference in inches) and on Halloween night we will measure to see who's the winner - the lucky entrant will get half of the total sweepstakes with the rest going back into holding more events here at the Project.

If you want to come to the Halloween Party or would like to enter the sweepstakes please just let us know.... it's sure to be a terrifying time!!!!
