Many, many thanks to Mike and Mo for mending the broken tap so quickly.
Happy watering everyone!
WATER SUPPLY – temporarily off
The tap on one of the water troughs broke yesterday, so there is no running water on the site at the moment. The repair should happen today so, all being well, the water will be back on by this evening.
Thank you for your understanding.
EWAA Committee
No ifs and no buts
Please never leave an allotment gate wide open when you are transporting items between your plot and the car park. Once you turn your back anyone can slip onto the site.
Examples of anti-social behaviour on and around the site are discussed on the EWAA Allotmenteers Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ewaaalotmenteers
Out of consideration for all plot-holders please take the time to shut and lock the gate.
Thank you.

Obstruction – car park between 66 & 68 Cricket Road
This is to warn you that a large delivery of topsoil for the Children’s Allotment has been left incorrectly in the EWAA car park nearest to Howard Street. The CA is making arrangements to remove it.
Apologies for the inconvenience!
EWAA Committee
Is your plot number clearly visible?
The plot inspection takes place this weekend, so please make sure that your plot number is on display at the front boundary, and is large enough to spot easily.
This is a huge help to the inspection team who need to work their way round the whole site – that’s more than 200 plots!
It doesn’t need to be a fancy sign, just clear.
With thanks in advance.

If you’re having trouble with your key
You may find that if you withdraw your key slightly from the lock it then turns easily.
Thank you to several members who have pointed this out.
EWAA Committee
New padlocks on all gates
Because the gate padlocks had become increasingly unreliable they were all replaced yesterday.
KEYS: All existing keys should work. Please leave a message here if yours doesn’t.
STIFFNESS: The new padlocks can be a bit stiff to close. They need a firm push. We are working to make the mechanisms smoother. Please bear with us!
