I bumped into one of the committee at our allotments this morning, and been told that our committee Chair has unexpectedly left and moved house a hundred miles away! This is cause for much
This delightful person was almost responsible for me losing my plot through their blatant lying (to get themselves out of trouble with the rest of the committee), and also threw a dampener over any ideas that anyone ever came up with to improve the plots, or to foster a sense of community within the allotment site. They pooh-poohed seed swaps, setting up a shop, having communal machinery, setting up work-parties to deal with problem areas and plots, and managed to claim for themselves all the plots with working stand-pipes. They had 4 plots with 3 massive polytunnels, 3 greenhouses, 3 stand-pipes and the last remaining brick storage building...
All of this bounty will now be split back into individual plots, the polytunnels and greenhouses are up for sale, and the standpipes and brick building are being split off for community use. I really can't stop That'll be me standing for committee in March then!
