Meeting notes from 30 April AGM.
As a reminder to those present, and to inform those unable to come, here are main action points from meeting:
SURPLUS PRODUCE – Nick is involved in trying to set up food coop. Could we as a site be involved in this? Possibly set up a ‘trading post’ on our communal area? Discuss in june meeting.
SHREDDER –Dave (plot5) has a shredder and has offered this for use of anyone on site. This will be a private arrangement between him and the plot holder, and Dave has assured the AGM that his personal, business insurance will cover this. If you would like to discuss this with him, please see him in person on his plot, or put your details in our post box and they will be forwarded.
PLOT SIZE- If you would like to reduce or take on a larger plot, for whatever reason, let Denny know. This way when a plot becomes available, your needs can be considered before this is offered to someone on the list. You can not take on two plots, but you can swap. To reduce your plot in order to make it more manageable, let us know anytime- and this can be sorted out for you.
COMMUNAL JOBS- can you help out with such jobs as toilet cleaning / bins / mowing paths / weeding communal area / donating plants for comm. Area ????? The allotment is the responsibility of us all – can you do something?
SEEDS- Generally 50% cheaper than the garden centre, and the allotment gets a % back from the order. Look out for the notice- catalogues will be left for collection in toilet.
SOCIAL FUND-Most plot-holders enjoy our socials. People have been very generous with their donations of food and drink- thank you to those people.
Whilst we try to provide some food or drink to supplement what is brought, funds for this are short. Ideas? One suggestion -that we ask a voluntary contribution collected at rent time towards the social fund – nobody would be obligated to contribute, and all would still be welcome to attend and enjoy as usual. It would mean that those who could help with a small extra amount would have the opportunity to do so if they wanted to.
WHEELBARROWS- Can you help to fix or get them fixed cheaply?
£100 PRIZE VOUCHERS- we won these as special mayors prize for our community. How would you like these spent?
TENACY FORMS- please return these asap. (collect from Allyson if you need one)
BARK- PLEASE COLLECT ASAP FROM SIDE ENTRANCE
BINS BINS BINS .........DO NOT PUT SOIL WEEDS METAL WOOD ECT ECT ECT IN THEM!!!!!PLEASE!!!!! They become too heavy and will not be taken. Take home your rubbish if it is heavier than normal, thankyou.
NEXT MEETING SUNDAY 5TH JUNE AT 2PM (SOCIAL TO FOLLOW- PLEASE COME)
POINTS NOT COVERED IN MEETING WILL BE DISCUSSED, PLUS MATTERS ARISING.
