Festive rent day and wreath making – Sunday 5 December

Our annual festive rent day and wreath making workshop for is  back!

Members can:

  • pay your rent and enjoy free festive food and Christmas craft activities – from 12noon – 2pm.
  • make a wreath at our workshop for our members and their family/friends using foliage gathered on site – from 2pm – 4pm.

At the end of the workshop you will have a fresh hand made festive wreath for your home.

Given the high levels of Covid and the new variant we will be holding
the event largely outdoors under cover.   Rent can be paid and food and
drink collected in the clubhouse, and we ask that people wear a mask
at all times when inside the Clubhouse.

Please do not attend if you are feeling unwell or have any covid, cold or flu symptoms.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy New Year! A new path for Dorset Road Allotments and Leisure Gardens

On 1 January 2021 all our plot holders became members of the new co-operative set up to run Dorset Road Allotments and Leisure Gardens.   This means they each have one share in the new co-operative and an equal say in how the allotment site is run. The new co-operative is called Dorset Road Allotments and Leisure Gardens Limited (Registered Society 4733).

Becoming a co-operative is a milestone for the governance of our site giving us an opportunity to make the site the best it can be working with all our members.

If you want to read more about how our co-operative works, our Rules governing our site are published in the ‘About us’ section of the website.

Happy New Year!
