Highnam Allotment Association
Formed in 2007, the Allotment Association is now operating an Allotment site on Oakridge, adjacent to the sports field.
The first season proved highly successful, with a large variety of produce being grown. Also during 2008 a water supply was installed ready for the new season, so another productive year is anticipated.
There are 24 individual plots on the site and all are currently being leased. A grant received from GrassRoots in 2009 has enabled drainage improvement to be carried out. It is hoped that 2 additional plots may be created in the near future.
Plots becoming available in the future will be offered to the next name on a waiting list. Anyone wishing to join the waiting list should contact the membership Secretary - Mr Ashley Hathaway on 01452 414323.
At their AGM in November 2009 the Allotment Association created a new position of President which was filled by founding member Andy Fowler. The new Chairman is Bob Stembridge, 01452 526877.
