AGM
Thank you to those of you who attended the AGM on 13th April. There was a turnout of nearly 40 plot holders and associates and we were pleased to see several of our new members in the audience.
For those of you who were unable to attend, I am attaching the Committee Report, distributed at the meeting. The present committee all announced their willingness to stand again and were duly re-elected. No other nominations were received. The Committee gave notice of a rent rise which will be applied at this coming October.
This price of a full plot will be raised by £10 to £90. Concessions for those over 67 will still apply. Water charges will also be raised as our current fees for water and hose use no longer cover our water bills.
Work Party
One of the items discussed at the AGM was the importance of member participation in the care and upkeep of our site. Several work parties are organised each year and it is hoped that members help out, from time to time. Sessions usually last less than 2 hours.. Our next work party is next Sunday, 27th, April..Planned tasks include overdue tidying of the Park Rd car-park and drive and work on an empty plot. If you are "willing and able" please report to the Trading Hut at 10am. Refreshments for the workers will be served at about 11.30 am.
Security
You may be aware that an intruder has approached 2 of our members recently, after apparently climbing over one of our fences. We have now positioned a CCTV camera directed towards the Cat Hill gates.
Please also make sure you always lock the gates behind you. New padlocks will replace the faulty ones very soon.
Manure
Stelios has arranged some deliveries of manure to the Belmont car-park. the cost is £1 per barrowload. Please either pay Stelios or drop the money in to the Trading Hut, when open. If it's all gone, there may be more to come.

We will be serving similar food and refreshments and are still planning a late ‘blessing’ of the apple trees. We hope they won’t mind and will still give us bumper crops!
