The objectives of the Forum are to help and give advise to each other with problems involving the management of our Allotment Society’s, also to enable us to buy seed potatoes and society’s shop supplies in bulk.
Any Other Business:
Mr Middleton Whitehouse A/S. spoke about rents and suggests that all society’s put there rents up to £20.00. The secretary said that a lot of societies had been putting up there rent by £1.00 per year over the last 4 years to get them to the £20.00 mark. Mr Gray Evington Hilltop A/S. had a case of fly tipping were a householder who lived on his boundary had put rubbish from his house on site. He asked for it to be brought up at the next A.U.C.C. meeting. Mrs Cooper who is the mentor for Evington Hilltop said she had phoned Mr Jarmaine the societies secretary the week before and he had not reported the problem.
