Rosedale Road Report:

Manure on site, no chippings. Emails/letters were sent to plot holders with neglected plots. Two replied that they will be working them soon, no reply from the third, he will have a letter hand posted to say that if we have not heard within two weeks it will be presumed he no longer wants the plot.

Please do not dump your weeds anywhereon the site – they should be composted or burned when they are dry.

We have had complaints regarding a bonfire on a bank holiday Monday. This caused a lot of smoke during the day. Please be considerate towards neighbouring houses and other plot holders and do not burn fresh weeds as this causes the smoke. After 6 p.m. is the best time if you have to have a bonfire.

Any spare veggie plants can be left on plot 4N by the shed for planting and selling to raise funds on our open day.

Bull Meadow Report:

All plots worked. Sewer leakage reported to water board. Manure due to be delivered on Monday. Chippings needed. Vince Offord will be handing papers to Sheila regarding the old nursery site. Why?

Membership: 8 names on waiting list.
