The Day to Day working of an ALLOTMENT

THE DAY TO DAY WORKINGS OF AN ALLOTMENT SITE IN LANGLEY, BERKSHIRE, UK


For the benefit of visitors who do not know what allotments are - UK Allotments are plots of land rented to individuals to grow vegetables on. There is no standard size but the most common plot is 10 Pole, or 10 Rod these are ancient measurements equivalent to 302 square yards or 253 square metres.


This site has about 68 plots, most of which are being worked. The site is owned by the local council, but the day to day workings are run by our club and committee members.


' LANGLEY ALLOTMENTS & GARDENS ASSOCIATION'.


At this moment we have about 80 members . We also have a Trading Hut on site, where member can buy gardening items . This includes compost, canes, plants, etc. TheTrading hut / shop is open 3 times a week from March and closes Mid November. Through out the year we have events , such as BBQ's,Open days , and a stall at the local carnival where we sell produce and plants for club funds and for a local charity. A newsletter is produced 4 times a year to keep all members up to date with whats going on. The club is open to anyone in the area to belong , you do not have to have an allotment to be a member. The cost for a year is the great sum of £3.
