Special General Meeting (SGM) - Sunday 2nd November

Although we had intended to post details of valid nominees, their proposers and seconders in 'Documents', for security reasons, details will only be provided during the SGM.

Following two Motions of No Confidence in the Chair and Secretary respectively, passed unanimously at a Committee meeting on 14th October, and a request from a plotholder, supported by 12 others, for a Special General Meeting, your Committee is organising an SGM on Sunday 2nd November at 4pm.

Relevant documents are being posted under the Documents tab. Elections will be held for three Officers (Chair, Secretary and Treasurer) and four or more Committee members. Posters with further details are appearing on-site.

Self nominations, supported by a proposer and seconder, with names and plot numbers provided for all three, should be submitted by noon on the 31st October to elections@meopham-allotments.co.uk.

In the event that there is an insufficient number of nominations for any Committee role, nominations will be accepted at the meeting.

Members can also select 'elections' in the Contact Form for submitting nominations or asking any questions about the elections.

Theft from plots

During the harvest season and at other times of the year, we experience occasional theft of produce from our plots. Your Committee is exploring several ways in which our security can be improved.

Manure

Horse manure is delivered to a site on the left coming in through the front gate. Loads are generally delivered by a large tip-up truck which cannot negotiate the central roadway. Your Committee is always looking for opportunities to have smaller loads delivered to the 'Far End'. If anyone knows of potential suppliers of small loads, please get in touch with our Secretary at secretary@meopham-allotments.co.uk.
