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.

Timber in the Shop

Are you building a raised bed? Do you need to repair your shed? Do you have plans for a fruit cage?

The EWAA Shop may have just the timber you’re looking for. The following items are currently in stock:

  • Kick board – 3.6 metres long
  • Feather edge – 2.4 metres long
  • Deck bearers – 6″ X 2″
  • Fruit cage posts – 3″ X 3″
  • Fruit cage rails – 3″ X 2″

No More Paper Towel

Because the used hand towels in the toilet block regularly spill out of the waste container and onto the floor, causing an unhygienic nuisance, the Committee has decided not to refill the paper towel dispenser beside the basin from now on.

Thank you for your understanding.
