Congratulations to this year’s winners
Last orders for spuds
If you’re planning to order seed potatoes from Terry Johnson you need to get a move on. All orders must be with him by Tuesday.
Plot fees and seed orders
Plot fees fall due at the beginning of November (Rules) but you may find it convenient to pay at the end of the AGM on Monday (Annual General Meeting).
The fees for next year will again remain at £25 for a full plot and £12.50 for a half plot.
You will also be able to place your orders from the Kings Seeds Catalogue (Kings Seeds) after the meeting. Please note, though, that if you are intending to pay both your plot fees and for seeds you will need to make separate payments. You won’t be able to pay for both using just one cheque.
Lighting up time
October 1 is the first day on which bonfires can be lit on site and it is also the day when the mains water is turned off for the winter.
So, from Monday, you will be allowed to light a bonfire but only after 4pm. You must not leave it unattended. Please also avoid having a fire when the weather conditions could adversely affect our neighbours.
Going free
These 3 metal frames are on offer free of charge. You’ll find them by the shed on plot 14B. Please help yourself.
The allotments in September
Spuds 4u
It may feel as if it’s only five minutes since you dug up this year’s potatoes but it’s already time to start thinking about next year’s crop.
The Association is, once again, offering a range of seed potatoes at the bargain price of just £1.10 per kg.
There will be nine varieties on offer.
First Earlies: Pentland Javelin, Casablanca, Duke of York white
Second Earlies: Charlotte, Marfona, Kestrel
Maincrop: Sarpo Mira, Cara, King Edward
They come in 2kg bags.
If you want to buy some, please place your order with Terry Johnson ( plot 18) by October 16.
Payment will be due when you receive your seed potatoes.
Because the Association is offering these bargain-priced seed potatoes we will not accept any orders for seed potatoes through the Kings Seeds Catalogues.
Any other orders from the Kings Seeds Catalogue must be placed by November 1. Please pass your order to Pearl or Ron Barton (plots 21b and 22b ) with full payment, either by cheque or in cash.
Annual General Meeting
The annual general meeting of the Deal & Walmer Allotment Holders Association will be held on Monday October 15 at The Royal Marines Social Club, The Strand, Deal. Please arrive in good time for a 7.30pm start.
The agenda for the meeting and the minutes of the 2017 AGM can be found below.
