If you are travelling to an organised bonfire stay safe & enjoy the celebrations. Can we also remind plot holders that if they are having fires on there plots to make sure there is no wildlife hiding inside them, using them for shelter.

Just a quick Thank You for the members that attended our Annual General Meeting. We need the support at these events with feedback from our members for the site to move forward and improve. Big Thanks to Mick Hogan for transporting the food from Costco, the food was delightful. A copy of the minutes is in the process of being written up by myself and will be avaliable to read on the site entrance gates in due course.

Dear Members

Paula & Diane have dismantled this greenhouse as per the picture. They have asked me to do a blog to see if the glass is any good to somebody.

Dear Members

We need the seed potatoe order forms handed in either before our Annual General meeting or on the day. Some stocks are running low with our supplier and we want to make sure we can pre order ours for delivery next February. We have already missed out on Francis (first early) due to stock levels. Can i ask members if they have paid on line for seed potatoes to make sure the forms are given to the secretary as soon as possible. We will be placing an order with our supplier on the 25th October. Any forms handed in after this date will not be ordered.

Dear members

This is just a reminder about our Annual General meeting Thursday 24th October from 6.45pm. It is important that members come to the meeting to discuss our Lease with Leeds City Council, and our self managed site moving forward. Also to pay any money that is outstanding for rents, Kings Seeds, and seed potatoe orders

Thanks – Old Lane Allotments Committee

Dear Members,

Unfortunatley our seed potatoe supplier Codnor Horticultural have no Francis early seed potatoes left to pre order. Those members who have handed there forms in I have just managed to reserve them. Lady Cristl (first early) and other varieties on our list they have good stock levels. Sorry about this .
