Children on Site

Important Notice

As more and more people are getting out to work on their allotments, please remember to show consideration to your neighbour who might wish to enjoy his gardening in peace.

Those of you who have children and wish to take them on site to encourage them to take an interest in growing food, Please remember that:

1. You are responsible for their safety at all times and that they remain under your personal supervision at all times while they are on the allotment.

2. Children must not be allowed to roam unsupervised over the allotment. The allotment is not a playground. There are many potential hazards on an allotment site. This makes it vitally important that you take responsibility for the safety of your children. Better to be safe than sorry.

A Busy Weekend - Spring 2011

The Sun is out and so are the Allotmenteers at Stanley Road Allotments and Garden Society!!

Blossom is busy watering the raised beds on the Orchard Hill plots

Derek is busy lounging!!

(alright for some )

To be fair he is on duty at the Trading Hut today and making the most of a quiet spell

Nikki - another hose in use in this hot weather!

Ron is weeding away

Michael has just arrived with a car load of equipment

Nigel has spotted a slug or is it hidden treasure?

A busy bee further along the site with a lovely pink trug!

Arthur is about to go and tend to his seedlings in his greenhouse

Ciao! Michael

A happy shopper - just been to the Trading Hut

This nice lady (it took me a while to persuade her to pose for the camera)  is being sensible in the heat with a sun hat!  A good example to others.

The lovely George - he's making me feel hot with his "winter" cap on

His plot partner Perry doing all the hard work

Nick is looking pleased with his efforts and so he should - a nice neat plot there Nick!

And another sensible lady wearing a sun hat in this scorcher

So come on you fellow allotment plot holders - the sun is out - get to the Trading Hut - buy what you need and get your plots ready for the busy seasons that we have ahead of us!



Two Very Special Birthdays!

Not only did we, at the Stanley Road Allotments, celebrate one 80th Birthday, but two!

Congratulations to Mavis Peart

Ron Nash

They are both very dedicated members of the SRAGS Comittee, Ron is also one of the shop managers and both are still very very keen and active allotment gardeners.
