Seven sisters would be good me and a neighbour are interests.<br />
Fontayne road a bit far...what about somewhere on Philip lane?<br />
Thelma's florist is a good community shop....

<p>That's good news!</p>
<p>But still out of the way. A collection point near Seven Sisters station or somewhere along St Ann's road (Chestnuts Park any good?) would be so much better. How do I register my interest, other than posting it here?</p>

<p>From chatting with them at the weekend (they were at the Hornsey Vale community centre christmas craft fair), it's all about scale/numbers. Simply, put they need enough people interested in using the service picking up from a given place/area, to be worth the cost of transporting the bags of veg there to be picked up.</p>
<p>So you should definitely register your interest, tell them where you are/where you pass by (tube station/railway/etc), and then they can see where they need to find drop…</p>

<p>Don't know much about Blend, myself - other than having it seen mentioned here as an excellent local cafe, and friends having told me it does good coffee - because I live around Tottenham Hale.

<p>I would second the suggestion for a pick up point near Seven Sisters or St Ann's road...</p>
<p>Currently the most convenient for me would be Blend Cafe, but I am not entirely sure what their pick up times are? the website is not very clear in this respect!</p>
<p>I would really like to give you guys a go but at the moment it's just not working for us!</p>

<p>I'm told that current plans include one at "the Engine Room" if there are enough people interested in that as a pick up point (that's the new community centre space in Vickers Court, Hale Village - just east of Tottenham Hale station - where Filling the Gap cafe do their thing on Friday lunchtimes, and a short walk from the Gym Group...)</p>

<p>Just to say, we have signed up for this and the first bag last week was great. Picked up from the Civic Centre on Mayfield Road and had no problems. Highly recommended!</p>
