The chairman welcomed everyone to the meeting.

1.    Apologies: Phil Moore, Alan Smith, Jodi White, Andrew Bibbings.

2.    Minutes of the previous meeting on 1 November 2021 were read and agreed.

3.    Matters arising from the minutes:
  • Plotholder had emailed re: the lock on the gate to 21 and 22 Derrell Road and confirmed that the lock has not been changed. Gary B now has a key, so access to the plots should not be an issue.

4.    Correspondence:
  • Requests to go on waiting list/2 plots given up. Sec will reallocate to people at top of the waiting list.

5.    Chairman’s Report:
  • Had quotes to repair 2 allotment strimmers. One for £168 and one for £360. The cost of repairs was discussed and it was agreed that only one would be repaired at the cost of £168. One strimmer between the 2 sites will be adequate. It will be important to use only SUPER UNLEADED fuel when the strimmer is returned.
  • Broad beans are still available – please see a site rep or contact us.

9.    AOB:
