As mentioned in a previous Special Bulletin (See below), WTC has given us permission to hold Managed Bonfires outside the normal post-4pm restrictions. This allows tenants to dispose of wood rubbish on their plots who may not want to have individual plot bonfires during the darkening hours of autumn and winter.
With that in mind, we have chosen Wednesday, 12th November at 10:30am as the date for the first Managed Bonfire.
From today (30th October), tenants may deposit wood only (e.g., loose branches, old/broken pallets, old timber) at the designated collection point near the back gate, marked by red-topped stakes — see below image. Please do not deposit any other materials besides wood.
Site Entrance Clean-Up
As also mentioned recently, a working party will be formed to clean up the gate and noticeboard area. The Committee has chosen the weekend of Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th November for this task and is asking for volunteers to come along and help.
The work will include:
Strimming
Removal of undergrowth and brambles
Topping off some bushes
The aim is to create a clean, flat area around the noticeboard and nearby space, where we can lay weed-suppressant material, cover it with gravel or stones, and add raised beds for flowers and shrubs.
If you can help, please reply to this email, and we’ll add you to the list of volunteers. We plan to meet inside the main gate at 10:30am on Saturday, 15th November. If extra time is needed, we’ll return the following day.
Please find below a link to the minutes of the above meeting.
Whilst we did cover some allotment business (see minutes). The main event was for listening to our guest speakers, Daniel Tyrkiel & Dr. Frida Mariana from the Soil Ecology Laboratory.
What an amazing presentation, it was also great to get some of our Compost/Soil samples analysed in front of us. Many thanks go to our secretary Wendy Wilkinson for managing to capture all that she did for the minutes.
If you have any questions about items in the minutes, please contact us readingroadplots@woodley-allotments.org.uk and the Committee will be happy to provide any information required.
Look out for information about our next monthly meeting on Monday 10th November.

As our speaker for the September monthly meeting was unavailable at short notice, the Committee decided to proceed with the meeting and present a ‘half-term’ report on the Committee’s activities since the last AGM, held approximately six months earlier.
Please find below a link to the comprehensive minutes of that meeting. You may notice while reading that some of the items discussed have already been addressed; those that have not, are still being looked into.
I apologise for the delay in getting these out to everyone. If you have any questions about items in the minutes, please contact us readingroadplots@woodley-allotments.org.uk and the Committee will be happy to provide any information required.

As you will be aware from previous posts, the Committee has been working with WTC on various actions that will assist plot tenants in dealing with the removal of various types of rubbish from their plots (one being the yearly skips that we have on site in the Spring).
With that in mind, please see below an important Special Bulletin that outlines two new schemes that will begin to help with the clearing up of unused Wood and Rubble from tenants’ allotment plots. Simply click on the image below to view the full Special Bulletin.
The Committee expects to make further announcements about other types of rubbish disposal schemes soon. If you have any questions about this Special Bulletin, please contact the Committee by replying to this post or via readingroadplots@woodley-allotments.org.uk.
Apologies for the delay in getting these out to tenants. Please find below Bullet Points from our last Committee meeting and the last Committee/Woodley Town Council meeting. Simply click on the image below if you would like a PDF to download and read offline.

HI everyone. Our next Association General Meeting will be held on Monday 15th September 2025 at 7.30pm at the Oakwood Centre in Woodley.
Rather than having a guest speaker this time and as it six months since the last AGM, we thought it would be a good idea to give a ‘Half-Term’ report on what the Committee has been doing over the last six-months and what the Committee is intending to do over the next six months. This evening will also include by a Question & Answer session.
So if you have time, please come along, hear what has been happening, bring your suggestions and also anything you would like to see changed.
