SEPTEMBER:

  • A copy of the Association Rules was given to all plot holder when they called to pay their rent at the shop in September. If you did not receive one the rules are available here.
  • The Committee was asked to consider complaint relating to the use of urine on allotment plots.? RULING: The practice of applying urine directly to allotments (instead of using it to make compost) is considered uncivil behaviour ? breaking Allotment Rule 51 and causing neighbouring plot holders unnecessary distress ? and is therefore strictly prohibited. A summary of the Association Rules covering this (in English and in Mandarin) can be found here.
