Plotholder Michael Wyatt (Plot 11A, Allotment plot map) has recently acquired a greenhouse for which he needs glass. If anyone has any suggestions as to where he can buy reasonably priced greenhouse glass please contact him at michael.joseph.wyatt@gmail.com
The next plot inspections will take place in the first week of August.
Our judge, Denis, was due to visit the site today to judge plots entered in the annual competitions. He has, unfortunately, not been able to attend due to unforeseen circumstances.
A new judge has been found and judging will take place as soon as possible.
A group of committee members and other plotholders set to work on the water-harvesting and composting area in the top car park at the weekend.
They painted the structure and levelled the ground behind it ready for the water barrels to be installed.
Strimming was also carried out on other areas of the site.
Pearl Barton kindly provided the volunteers with tea, coffee and bacon rolls when the work was finished.
There will be two working parties this weekend to carry out painting and general maintenance work at the site. If you can help in any way please meet in the main car park at 10am on Saturday or Sunday.
The water-harvesting and composting area in the top car park is now complete – bar the painting.
A number of covered barrels will be placed behind it to collect rain water from the roof.
A trench has been dug out for a pipe to carry water from them to two barrels which will be sited on the opposite corner of the car park to make the water easily accessible to nearby plotholders.
It is hoped that eventually additional barrels will be placed elsewhere on the site to enable more plotholders to use the harvested water.
The next committee meeting is on Wednesday July 12. If there is anything you would like members to discuss please email the secretary at pearlygran@yahoo.co.uk
