I have had to raise some of the prices for the first time in two years as the price from the supplier has gone up. I have only rounded prices off and again we are selling to you without making a profit.

PLEASE HELP US BY BRINGING THE RIGHT MONEY AS WE DON’T KEEP CHANGE AND THE TAKINGS GO QUICKLY INTO THE BANK.
PLEASE DON’T RISK OFFENCE BY ASKING FOR CREDIT!

Please note that you might find it difficult to find someone to sell you compost until after 22nd March. Steve Yorke will oblige but please don’t presume he will be available.  Steve Williams may be around  but he is on light duties  do not expect him to lift the bags for you so if you need help bring it!

If you help unload the lorry on the 10th you can get what you want then.

After the 22nd you can contact me with your requirements and I will meet you at the gardens. There will be plenty of opportunity to buy at the AGM on Sunday 3rd April.

Jackie.

Annual General Meeting 10am Sun 3rd April 2016

28th Feb 2016 by Dogbury

The allotments Annual General Meeting will be held commencing at 10:00am on Sunday 3rd April 2016 in the poly-tunnel outside the association buildings.  All allotment members are of course urged to attend.

There are a number of important matters which need to be discussed along with the election of officials for the coming year.  With this in mind can you please make every effort to attend as this will be your only opportunity to influence the way YOUR allotments are run and who makes the decisions.

We are also looking to recruit some extra members to the committee to help the few currently running the association.  These allotments belong to you and are run for your personal benefit, the current committee members feel that more of you should become involved in helping with the day to day running of it and the ongoing work that needs to be done on behalf of us all.  Please express your interest to any of the current committee including Jackie Medcalf, Steve York and Steve Williams.  Don’t keep assuming that someone else will be doing it please start to get involved yourself.

Can I ask you too make note of a change to the normal date of the AGM this year it will be held on SUNDAY 3rd April at 10.00am. This is due to the unavailability of two members of the committee and the early Easter Holidays.

Weeds in both unoccupied and occupied gardens are becoming a problem. Complaint about one gardener in particular.  Jackie will talk to that tenant.

Discussion around should we the committee intervene and then charge for doing so where weeding is not being done. Agreed to make this an item for discussion at the next AGM:
