Annual Update for the Alderton Allotment Association – April 2018
The allotments in Alderton are doing extremely well even though the wet winter has not been kind to us and I could well repeat what was said in the annual update mantra of the last couple of years: ‘We have more members looking after more plots, growing more and having lots of fun’.

There is unfortunately a big ‘however’ as earlier this year a stalwart member of the allotment community passed away.  Sylvia Croke was a quite a character, who with drive and determination had one of the biggest plots on the allotment. She pushed the limits of sustainable horticulture to the limits and was pretty much self-sufficient before it became fashionable to reduce food miles.  Additionally, Sylvia was a beekeeper who produced marvellous honey. Sylvia in her quiet way did an enormous amount for the allotment association and the wider village community. She will be missed.

The ‘new/new plots’ next to the new houses will become operational this year. Last summer we held a BBQ or Sausage Sizzle which had a good turnout.  This event will be repeated this year on 8 September after the village show. The AGM of the association will be held on Thursday 15 November at the Gardeners Arms.

I am pleased to announce Mark Hunt has stepped forward to fill the vacant treasurer position.  This will hopefully enable the transfer of machinery into the care of the AAA as insurance can be put in place.

We are very happy to welcome new members and the Clerk to the Parish Council, Tamsin James, holds the list of available plots.
