SHOW PROGRAMME
Again we are indebted to Simon Dickerson for producing the Show Programme and to John Bartle for ‘persuading’ local businesses to support the show through advertising. The programme not only depicts what exhibits you can enter but also acts as a local directory. John managed to find a butcher and a baker but drew a blank on a candlestick maker. Any suggestions let us know.
ALLOTMENTS
We still have a lengthy list of person waiting for allotments. Current tenants are reminded that at least 80% of the plot should be cultivated throughout the year.
Car Parking.
Allotment Holders are permitted to use the Church Car Park whilst working at the allotments but please display a ‘parking permit’ (obtainable from John) at all times. Please use your discretion when parking, e.g. not on Sunday mornings when there is a Service or at times of funerals etc. The WGA will be making a donation to the Church for this privilege.
MEMBERS TRIP
I hope everyone who went to Yorkshire Lavender, Castle Howard and The Wetherby Whaler on the 18th July enjoyed the day out.
Arrangements are well under way for next years outing.
MEMBERSHIP FEES
Have you paid your fees for this year. £4? If you know of anyone

As usual Bedding Plants will be on sale and there will be a number of stalls in the Hall. Wilsden Band will be entertaining us and afternoon tea will be served.
We need:- Cakes, buns etc. for the teas
Plants for John’s WGA Stall
Unwanted books (paperbacks are the most popular)

WGA TRIP
Our trip to Yorkshire Lavender, Castle Howard and The Wetherby Whaler on Sunday, 18th July 2010 is a sell out. All members who have indicated their intention of going on the trip will be contacted in the next few weeks regarding the arrangements for the day. We have a waiting list of members wishing to go on the trip so any person unable to go should contact Jack Clapham on 01535 275270 as soon as possible.

John Bartle has started his search for advertisers in the Show Programme. Sponsorship in this way is very beneficial to the success of the show.
