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.

Looking forward to seeing you on the 15th.

Many thanks &
Kind regards

Chair – WATA Committee

Newsletter Editor – What would you like to see?

Posted on by

The Allotments Association is on the lookout for a new Newsletter Editor.

It has been quite a while since we last published our Newsletter, which is another way of keeping all tenants informed about various news items and other activities.

Would you be interested in contributing to the community of the allotment site? Past newsletters were published in PDF form, with originals being created in PowerPoint & Word, though you don’t have to use either. Perhaps a new design refresh might be in order, do you have ideas? What would you like to see in a revived Newsletter?

If you’re interested, simply contact the Committee on readingroadplots@woodley-allotment.org.uk and we will arrange a meeting to discuss your ideas for a Newsletter revamp.

Here are two links to past copies of the newsletter to give you an idea of what used to be published.

Border Marking – Red Posts

The Committee has this week started the Woodley Town Council (WTC) project to re-mark out all the plots on our Allotment site.

Over the next few months, you will begin to see red topped stakes appearing on your plot areas, these will serve two purposes.

One is to define the area of your plots as WTC believe it to be, the other is to define an approx. 40cm divide/pathway between the sides of each defined plot, these in some cases have completely disappeared and need to be reestablished. The final divide/pathway between the rear of adjoining plots (e.g. B/C, D/E, F/G & H/J) due to the erratic nature of some of the read divide/pathways will be addressed later on.

Once you see the Red topped stakes on your plot, please do not move or remove them. If you believe that there has been an error made in the marking of your plot/border, please contact the Committee on this email address and we will meet with you to address the issue.

This project will take some time to complete and may appear at times being randomly carried out. However, we appreciate all tenant’s cooperation during the period of this task.

Many thanks &
Kind regards
