It is with regret and sadness that we have to announce the death of our oldest allotment holder Reg ELMER. Reg had a stroke late last year and had been recovering slowly since this time, unfortunately he was never well enough to get back to the allotments. Earlier this week he suffered another major stroke and had also developed other complications which led to his death on Wednesday. Reg played a full part in his time in the running of the allotments and was well known to all there, he will be missed. His funeral will be held at Bramcote Crematorium at 12 midday on Monday 1st December next. Anyone wishing to attend from the allotment association will be welcome.
It’s with regret that we are going to cancel tonight’s bonfire party. The amount of rain we have had and the amount promised for today has made the site and the bonfire stack soggy and unpleasant so its been decided to postpone it to another day perhaps nearer Christmas. We apologise for any disappointment this will cause you and particularly to any children you were bringing and who were looking forward to it.

We are having a Bonfire Party – See the web site for more details or click this link: http://wp.me/p20UPh-8R
The locks to the main gates will be changed on Saturday 1st November.
Each time I visit the allotments I will see who is up there and give you the new keys so please ensure you are carrying all your allocated keys with you. I will only swap like for like.
Extra keys are £10.
I will also be on the gardens at the following set times.
Friday 3rd 10am until 1pm
Monday 6th 9.30 until 12.30
Friday 10th 9.30 until 12.30
Saturday 11th 10am until 1.30
Sunday 12th 10am until 1.30
Tuesday 14th 9.30 until 12.30
Further dates will be offered when I see how many are left to distribute.
N.B. The new locks will not lock without the key; you cannot remove the key unless the lock is locked. Therefore if you usually carry them with your car keys you will need to separate them if you use your car to drive in and out.
If you lose a key the cost of the replacement will be £20 and you may well be asked to go to the locksmith for your replacement.
On the 1st November you can discard the old and start using the new keys.
If you have any problems or queries please contact me or if you wish to arrange a specific time e.g. afternoon please ring me on 07931950950

Earlier I published a list of items which may be displayed at the forthcoming annual show, however I forgot to include in the list the number of each of the items which should be displayed on the plate. Here republished is the list in the form of a table together with the missing information. Apologies for the confusion.
