Launchpad Presentation Slides
In case you were not able to attend our WATA General Meeting at the Oakwood Centre last evening, we have attached a PDF copy of the presentation that Launchpad’s Kirsti Wilson gave about their activities in and around the Reading area. It was good to hear just how much valuable work they do in this area. You can download a copy of the Slide Presentation by clicking on the image at the end of this post.
If you would like to come along and help with our onsite Launchpad plots that produce food for the Readifood scheme, and help with weeding/watering or even providing extra assistance on corporate days, then just reply to this email and we will arrange to meet up with you.
We also discussed a few Allotment Association items, including the Co-opting (under para 3h of the Constitution) onto the Committee of Wendy Wilkinson as the Committee Secretary and Geoff Wilson as the new Committee Treasurer (taking over from Mike McNamara who has been carrying out this role temporally). There was also a discussion about Plot Inspections, which we will talk about in another, more detailed email in the coming days.
Lastly, yes there will be another meeting as we are looking to hold these on a regular basis. The next one will be in early August (date to be announced), we have not yet picked a final topic/speaker, some suggestions could be Honey Bee/Asian Hornet threat, No-Dig to name two. Let us know if you have a topic you would like to see covered.
Kind Regards
WATA Committee

Welcome to New Committee’s first Post of 2025
As many of you will know, we held our Annual General Meeting (AGM) on March 27th. The minutes have been collated and will be published shortly. The new Committee also recently met with Woodley Town Council (WTC), raising a number of points discussed at the AGM and some other historical items.
A ‘short’ version of the WTC/WATA committee meeting minutes can be seen below, you can also download a copy as a PDF, if you click on the image below.
We encourage any comments/feedback that you have about this meeting by using the ‘Leave a Reply‘ function at the end of this post. Also, if there is a subject that we should have discussed, or you would like us to being to WTC’s attention, then please also let us know using the same process.
As we get going as a new Committee, we would like to thank all previous Committee members for their service and, as was mentioned at the AGM, give a special thanks to Sara Jackson for being Chair over the past few years.
