MOWER NEWS

 
 Would users please note that it is a 4 stroke machine and uses unleaded petrol from the green can. Please check the oil level and top up with the 4 stroke oil (also available) as and when necessary.

The strimmer uses 2 stroke fuel and this is available in the red can.

USE OF THE WRONG FUEL IN THE WRONG MACHINE WILL RUIN THEM, SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!!!

Seed Catalogue

Each year seed catalogues are distributed to interested members.
Seeds ordered through the Association are at about 40% discount from the Dobies catalogue price.
There is provision for the delivery of manure to the allotments.

WGA Policy.

Because of the present demand for allotments, in future priority will be  given to Wilsden residents over and above others.

 Since 1976, Wilsden has had one of the best kept secrets ever. We have 26 allotments! Some are half plots, so many people are enjoying this facility. Each plot is about 30 x 8 meters. Water is available. There are 2 small huts for tool storage. On one of the huts there is a notice board and inside is a first aid kit.

Mowers, strimmer etc. are available for use by the allotment holders.

The soil is light and easily drains.
Access is open, allotment holders can get a bad back any time!

The present cost of a full allotment is £36 per annum, a bargain compared to some council rates. However there is a waiting list for the allotments, but anyone wanting an allotment should contact Andrew and Debbie Ellison or call in the WGA hut any Sunday morning during the open season.
