Newsletter – Summer 2026

Another great edition, full of interesting information. Once again, the Committee’s thanks go to Hannah Varley-Thompson for the sterling job she has done as our Editor in creating this edition.

One technical point: we believe there is still an issue affecting certain iPhones, which may experience problems opening multi-page PDFs due to compatibility issues with some iOS and hardware combinations. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to resolve this issue directly. If you do encounter this problem, we suggest downloading the PDF directly from the WATA website and viewing it on another device.

Please let us know if you have any comments, feedback or suggestions by emailing us at readingroadplots@woodley-allotments.org.uk. Happy reading.

General Meeting – Monday 15th June 2026 –

Hi All,

Following a suggestion made at the AGM, June’s General Meeting will be held on site. Meet up at 7pm at the Allotment Site Main Gate

We will walk around the site, visiting plots where tenants have issues and would welcome group input, as well as plots where tenants have adopted unique approaches and would like to share their ideas and experiences.

We will finish at the Launchpad Plots, where tea, coffee and biscuits will be available.

If you would like to join us, please let the committee know either via the Facebook Event that we have posted. (https://fb.me/e/7VTSe7z20)
Everyone is welcome, even if you do not wish us to visit your plot. Many of our tenants are relatively new and would welcome the opportunity to pick up tips from more experienced members, so please come along if you can.

Please note that the event may be postponed in the event of heavy rain.

If you have any questions or comments, please let us know by emailing readingroadplots@woodley-allotments.org.uk, and we will respond as soon as possible.

Many thanks &
Kind regards

Mike McNamara
Chair – WATA Committee
