Some allotment sites in Stockport have different leases with SMBC. To aid the committee in preparing to negotiate a new extended lease, could all sites please provide us with a copy of their lease, digital or on paper. This will enable us to pick the best points from each and create a lease which will be to the benefit to all our allotment sites. Copies can be sent to our Secretary or brought to the next AS general meeting.

Any site interested in some wood chippings next week, please let me know ,as soon as possible, and I will pass your details on.

Our next general meeting will be held on Tuesday 26th June at 7.00pm. The venue is Walthew House, 112 Shaw Heath, SK2 6QS, All AS members are welcome to attend.Please note, the meeting will be held in the downstairs room.

Spring is well and truly here, and many allotments will be having open days and plant sales. If you have an event you would like to publicise please contact me on iangardiner@sky.com.
