Recap on the year

We digitised records on Notion to enhance continuity and accountability (Benjamin)
A maintenance schedule was established, including clear-up and get-together dates (Sally)
We refreshed the plot plans and organization (Paige)
We secured a lottery grant to refurbish the space near the canal, selected a contractor, and received assistance from the CIC to complete the work before winter (Paige & Benjamin, Sayra, Peter, and everyone involved!)
Water bill management was improved by installing locks on new water taps (Benjamin & Myrtille)

Finances

Our treasurer is currently unwell, but we expect a detailed report once they recover. We can highlight a £700 surplus.
The £200-£300 from the current fund, along with this year’s member fees, should cover the identified work.
There will be no increase in fees.

Replace hoses.
Mark out new boundaries.
Compost heaps will be maintained in the canal side allotment area, and plastic bins other than the compost heap will be removed.
Members can email or WhatsApp us to request tasks to be considered.

Members must ensure their plot is used and well-maintained, including woodwork treatment, or it will be reallocated to another household
Attendance at least two communal cleaning sessions is required
Keep leaves off the woodwork.
Allotments should be used for gardening, not for planting shrubs

Committee members and those who significantly contributed this year get first choice, followed by long-standing members and then new members.

Needs to be applied for once we know rough number of members for the coming year.
