Plot inspections
A quick reminder that the April plot inspections will take place next week.
Also, please don’t forget that the rules say you can’t have a bonfire at the site between April 1 and September 30..
Any ‘ol iron?
Do you have any scrap metal on your plot that you need to get rid of? We’re going to collect it all together and then hopefully sell it to raise funds for the allotment kitty. Please can anyone who has any scrap metal they would like us to dispose of bring it to the collection point outside the gents’ toilets. If you have items that are too bulky for you to carry please let Anna know and we will try to get them collected directly from your plot. Do drop Anna and email on annavclayton@gmail.com.
After the storm…..
Road repairs – we need YOU!
From Monday 14 February at 9am we need your help as we do some essential maintenance to the road and car park.
We’ve got 19 tonnes of reclaimed and recycled road surface material so come one, come all with a wheelbarrow (we’re hoping to get it all done on Monday!)
We’ll start work from 9am so please do come along if you can, any questions or queries, please contact Tony on tonyfursland@icloud.com

COMMITTEE MEETING
The next committee meeting is on Wednesday 9 February 2022.
If there is anything that you would like members to discuss please email the secretary at annavclayton@gmail.com
Mary Tester
The funeral of long-standing plotholder Mary Tester is due to take place at Barham on Wednesday, December 29 at 2pm, followed by a wake at Betteshanger Bowling Club, Cavell Square.
Mary’s partner, John Chidwick, says anyone who knew her will be welcome at either event.
The hearse will drive past the allotments at about 1.15pm if anyone would like to pay their respects there.
The seeds are here
The Kings seed orders have arrived and are ready for collection.
They can be picked up from the large container on Saturday between 10.30am and noon.
A Gentle Reminder
Please don’t forget to pay your plot rental if you haven’t already done so.
The current rate is £30 for a full plot and £15 for a half plot.
The rent was due on November 1 and if it’s not paid by the end of the month there is a penalty of £10 on top of the annual fee.
