Temporary closure of WNAHS waiting lists for allotment plots
Due to the length of our existing waiting lists and the lack of plots likely to become available to meet that demand over the next few months, we have decided to close our waiting lists to new applicants until the middle of May 2024.
We are also going to take the opportunity during this period to have our membership software upgraded to run on the latest Microsoft platform.
Photo Competition
We loved seeing your photos of productive plots and vibrant vegetable in of 2023 photo competition. The winning entries have now been used to brighten up the website and illustrate the diverse nature of our allotments.
So for 2024 we are running another competition, and this time we are giving you more time to get creative.
An artistic shot of early morning frost on your brassicas or
an image of neat rows of spring shoots emerging from the soil?
Get out your cameras or phones and send us your best shots.
Open to everyone and ideally we like to have pictures from several allotment sites.
As last year the entries will be judged by the committee
and the winning entrant will receive a £25 voucher to use in the Trading Shed.
Please send you photos to WNAHS2023@gmail.com
Closing date 31st October 2024
Bonfires - Park Road Site
Following a number of complaints from local residents, bonfires at Park Road will now only be permitted between 1st October and 31st March.
If you do decide to have a bonfire, please ensure that you abide by the following rules:-
- Fires are to be in a cleared area at a distance of at least 10m from any property.
- Only light a bonfire when the wind is blowing away from the houses surrounding the allotment.
Should the wind change, please put your bonfire out.
- You must attend your bonfire at all times and not cause a nuisance to neighbouring residents or other plotholders.
- A suitable fire-extinguishing appliance is to be kept available for immediate use.
- You must fully extinguish your bonfire at least one hour before leaving the site.
- Only burn dry material from your plot which you are unable to take to the recycling centre or place in your domestic brown bin.
- Never bring material from outside on to the allotment to burn, or burn plastic or man-made waste.
Any Plotholder who does not conform to the above requirements may cause a loss of insurance cover
and would therefore be acting entirely at his or her own risk as to all potential consequences.
