A busy month for Meeting Minutes!

  • Minutes of the recent Monthly Meeting – Steve Cook, one of our on-site beekeepers, gave a fascinating and entertaining talk about bees and what goes on behind the fencing panels at the bottom of the allotment site, near the rear gate. I learnt even more about bees! Many thanks also to Wendy Wilkinson, the Association Secretary, who managed to capture all of Steve’s talk in these very detailed minutes. Well done, Wendy!

Our latest monthly meeting was held on 24th August 2026. The meeting took the form of an update from the Committee on what we have been doing and what to expect over the next few months.

You can find a copy of the slides from the meeting below, as well as a separate copy of the results of the Water Survey carried out in August. A few more people have responded to the survey since our meeting on 24th August, so these results are more up to date. Simply click on the relevant image to download your own copy.

The survey results have raised several further questions, which will be covered in a separate discussion document to be issued shortly.

If you did not attend the Monthly Meeting and would like to raise any questions about the Water Survey responses, you can send them to our usual email address at readingroadplots@woodley-allotments.org.uk.

We will be publishing the full minutes of the meeting shortly.

Many thanks &
Kind regards

As they say, more haste less speed!!! Of course this should have read August 24th and not September! Apologies for the error,

Hi Everyone,

This is to let you know that we have moved the date of the August Monthly Meeting to Monday 24th August, at the usual time of 7.30pm, at the Oakwood Centre in Woodley (www.woodley.gov.uk/council-services/oakwood-centre).

This meeting will take the form of a half-term report, where the Committee will report on what has been happening over the past few months since the last AGM, as well as what is planned for the rest of the Committee year.

We are also looking forward to hearing your feedback about the allotment site, including how you think it is looking and how it could be further improved in areas such as water resources, security, etc.

If you have any specific thoughts or suggestions, please let us know by responding to our normal email address of readingroadplots@woodley-allotments.org.uk and we will aim to address these during the meeting.
