8.25.2 Previous minutes and matters arising.
The minutes from 22nd July 2025 were agreed and signed by the chairman.

Taps – Ongoing SE, DJ.
8.25.3 Financial report.
No change since previous report (22nd July)
8.25.4 New project or items for excess funds.
• A new notice board is needed, possibly with a pin board rather than
magnets. The old notice board could then be used for composting
instructions and adverts for Environmesh etc.
• The reverse-parking signs could be made to look better i.e. more
permanent posts and possibly a sign on the gate.
• One plot has been uncultivated for the past 12 months due to illness.
It has been covered but the weeds are coming through and it was
suggested that weedkiller is used and someone employed to dig it over.
This plot could then be divided into small 'starter plots'.
• A speaker (e.g.Potty Plotters) could be invited to next year's AGM to
encourage more people to attend. JG.
8.25.5 Vacant/uncultivated plots and waiting list.
There is one vacant plot at present.
A letter terminating the tenancy was sent to one plot holder who had
done very little to the plot over the past twelve months.
Letters have been sent to several other plot holders, asking that they
clear weeds.
8.25.6 Use of weedkillers.
It appears that some people are using weedkiller and so the use of
weedkillers must be tightened up. WFA rules state that
'The use of non-organic pesticides and herbicides is not permitted,
although organically certified controls are allowed. Systemic weedkiller
(i.e. Glyphosate) is permitted for use on paths, but applications
elsewhere should only be with prior permission from the committee'.
Plot holders must be reminded of this rule, and others.
8.25.7 Signs for composting area.
It was suggested that the simplest composting instructions could just be
a list of 'nos' e.g. no wood/cabbage stalks/vegetables....
8.25.8 Open day and barbecue.
The Open Day and plant sale will be advertised on Face Book and with
posters around the village.
Karen will buy 2 barbecues and the food (burgers, sausages, buns,
coleslaw etc.)
Simon will provide some background music.
Jane will invite Jane and John Martin and will email plot holders again
to get final numbers.
Plot holders will be asked to bring chairs and drink.
8.25.9 AOB.
AGM – Jane will email the previous minutes and the agenda to plot
holders. Simon offered to print the agendas. The committee will meet at
7.00pm on 29th August for a brief pre-meeting. The AGM will start at
7.30pm.
