Badshot Lea Equestrian Centre (In Badshot Lea!) have contacted us to say that they lots of lovely well rotted horse manure available.
The manure would be free to any Farnham Allotment holder.
You can have as much or as little as you want but the allotment holder would need to collect.
If you are interested please contact Elly Hierons on 01252 312838.
Their website address is www.badshotleaequestrian.co.uk

For those of you who ordered last year, I won’t need to remind you how much you can save by placing your Thompson seed order through the Farnham allotment rep. Bulk orders save on postage and we can get up to 50% off!
Mrs J.Williams will be at the car park outside West Street Extension on Saturday 31st October at 11am to hand out catalogues, and then again on Saturday 7th November to take orders.
Any questions please contact us and we’ll be happy to help.

It is with sadness that I have to report the death of Ron Watts MBE. Ron passed away on Sunday 9th August after a long illness.
Ron as you are aware judged our annual allotment competition for many years until this year but would have done it this year if we could have got him round the allotments. Ron also judged our allotment show from it inception and was always willing to help in any way he could.
I had known Ron for many years and he was such a gentleman. He will be sadly missed by us all.

Deer Fencing (ours isn't as good)
*** Double Update ***
John and Pete on 9a kindly finished the road section on Saturday and they’ve done a great job – thanks! Only the opposite boundary and probably the gate left to secure now.

*** Update ***
Hi everyone
Just a quick update to let you know that Kevin’s team have dropped off the extra fencing – just in case you’ve not seen in. We need to get a team together to erect it. Can volunteers please email me or (d_wheeler AT hotmail DOT com) and then we’ll work out a convenient time. Please get in contact asap. I’ll try to email anyone who’s contact details I have…I’m rubbish at keeping records!!
David

Just a quick notice to all fellow S&F plot holders.
As you know we’ve been hit over the autumn by the local deer population. We are planning on erecting some deer fencing this Saturday at 11am.
We currently have 6 volunteers (which is enough) but if you’d like to help please pop along.
The Town Council have provided the fencing, we just need to put it up. We have been offered assistance by a fellow allotment holder in Farnham, who knows what he’s doing, so we shouldn’t run into too many problem although the proof will be in the erecting.
Cheers, David (plot no.3)

Dear all,
I have found that a petition has been started to try and stop Dow Agrosciences having the suspended chemical weedkiller reinstated that has contaminated so much manure. The petition is http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/aminopyralidban and I have signed it. I feel we need to try and stop this as so many crops have been affected by this problem.
Kind regards
Kevin

Bee keeping on Shepherd and Flock Allotments
Hi everyone
The Town Council is now considering bee keeping on some allotment sites. We have an allotment holder who is both experienced and willing to care for the bees and as such the site has been suggested as a possible home for bees.
It will be up to the plot holders to decide whether or not we proceed with a significant majority of yes votes required to proceed. Can all allotment holders at the S & F site please either contact me here and let me know their thoughts (and any questions) on the matter OR come talk to me on site.
Cheers, David (plot 3)
