November 2024

A site wide tidy was carried out, with a brilliant team of volunteers removing all the plastic and rubbish from the site for the council to remove and assisting some plot holders with weed clearance and the covering up of plots for the winter.  A team of allotment holders visited New Barn Stables on a manure digging trip.  Everyone worked extremely hard to dig, ferry and dump a trailer load of the black gold for use on the allotments.  High winds at the end of the month sadly destroyed a brand new greenhouse and wrought havoc across the site, causing lots of damage to structures.

August 2024

We held our first allotment get together, enabling plot holders to meet in the community area on site, chat about what we were growing and explore the site to see what everyone else was doing with their plots.  We had a lovely afternoon, and voted on the best plot on site and best new plot.  The winners received a £50 gift voucher for the garden centre.

At the end of 2023, the Society applied for a grant from Harmony Energy Limited, the company behind the Broadditch Battery Energy Storage System.  We were lucky enough to be awarded a small grant in April.  Though it wasn't enough to complete the plans we had for the site, the money will definitely be useful and we are currently discussing options for how to best use it.
