NEWS

Welcome to the new growing season at Wolston Allotments - for those of you that haven’t visited the allotments recently, there continues to be work undertaken by our dedicated volunteers to improve the site.

The allotment in Wolston is a surprisingly large site and over the past two years the large area at the far end of the site has been cleared and a memory orchard is being planted. Several saplings/trees have already been planted and below the trees there will be pathways and wild flower beds to make a pleasant and reflective area for the local community. The fruit trees are being planted in memory of villagers and past allotment holders. If there is someone that you would like to be remembered in the new orchard, please come and talk to us about planting a tree in their memory.

Replanting of some of the hedge rows that border Warwick Road has been an ongoing activity by volunteers and will continue throughout 2019. The hedging plants have kindly been donated by the Woodland Trust , in support of their ongoing environment and diversity projects .

One thing that will always be free at the allotments is advice. Come and visit us and make use of the decades of experience to be found at our site just off Stretton Road.

2019

 RENTS AND MEMBERSHIP SUBSCRIPTIONS DUE MARCH

Allotment Rents, Membership subscriptions and Affiliate Memberships are due for payment during March 2019. Your Committee has made the following arrangements to collect these. Rents and Memberships for 2019 can be paid at the on-site Trading Shed during the following times and dates:

Saturday 2^nd March between 10.00 am and Midday

Sunday 3^rd March between 10.00 am and Midday

Saturday 9^th March between 10.00 am and Midday

Sunday 10^th March between 10.00 am and Midday

It will this year be possible to pay rents and subscriptions before and after the AGM, which is due to be held at 7.30 pm on Friday 15^th March in the Wolston Village Hall. This facility will be available half an hour before the AGM begins and half an hour after the AGM finishes.

Come along to the AGM and support your Association and take the opportunity to also pay your rents and subscriptions.

All plot holders are being encouraged to pay for 12 months, as this assists with the collection and administration. A proposal to be put to the AGM will seek agreement of the meeting that in future (starting March 2020) rents and memberships will be collected during March of each year for 12 months, and the option to pay six monthly will no longer be available. Dates and times for collection of rents and memberships will in the future be restricted to two weekends during March.
