Hi,

Please click on the image for your copy of the minutes from the 2026 AGM.

This is a fairly long read; however, we hope it gives all allotment tenants a clear picture of the high level of activity carried out on your behalf since the 2025 AGM. We would also like to extend a special thank you to Wendy Wilkinson, our fantastic Secretary, for capturing such a comprehensive record of the meeting for these minutes.

So, grab a coffee or perhaps a glass of wine, and enjoy the read.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to reply to this email.

Many thanks &
Kind regards

Association General Meeting – 15th September 2025

Posted on 3rd September 2025 by wallments

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
