Southampton Allotments and Gardens Association
Thanks to those of you who braved the weather to attend the AGM. Although attendance was smaller than usual some interesting new ideas were put forward and will be implemented.
We now have a Council Liaison Officer which is a role that has been vacant for some time.
We also have somebody who is willing to update and
modernise this website so look out for fresh format soon.
After business was concluded we had a very interesting and informative illustrated talk on growing soft and cane fruit from Philip Cooper.

Sadly we have taken the decision to close Athelstan Road trading shed as there is so little interest from plotholders on that site.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Regulars at the trading sheds will have noticed that prices are increasing all the time at the moment. Each new delivery to us has an increase in the prices charged to us and we have no option but to increase our prices to you. We are still extremely competitive by comparison with other outlets and remember we can sell in smaller quanities weighed to your specific requirements.
