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.
