This weekend over 20 members joined the two morning work parties, to help clear the mass of bramble and brush that was threatening to take over our paths and car parks. Some people came on both days, so a particular thank-you goes to them, and to the brownie bakers, and to Tony & Dan for coordinating the task force.
EWAA Committee
The juicing session cannot go ahead as planned this Saturday, but once the equipment has been sorted out we’ll arrange another date.
Apologies for the disappointment!

What to bring?
There are still 60 plot-holders who have not paid their rent for 2021-22!
On October 4th the EWAA Treasurer sent a personalised email to each plot-holder, from email address ewaa.treasurer@gmail.com. The message contained instructions for paying the rent online to the allotment bank account.
If you did not receive an email please check your mailbox SPAM folder as soon as possible.
All rents must be paid by the end of the October.
If you have a query, please contact Jon, our Treasurer, on the email address above.
EWAA Committee
