THE TRADING HUT - 27TH MARCH 2020 

Whilst the committee has no intention of breaking the government guidelines during the current crisis, it is acknowledged that many members will need items from the Trading Hut at this busy time of year.  Consequently, an advance order system has been introduced for the duration of the current emergency and stock from the hut may be purchased as follows. 

All orders should be emailed to the Trading Hut Manager, Dick Gilbert at richard@gilbert2.plus.com.

A price list is attached to this post.

The full price of the order should be paid in one of two ways.

Cheque

A cheque, payable to OHGAS should be submitted on collection of the order.

Bank Transfer

The full cost should be paid by bank transfer in advance of collection. The OHGAS bank details are 

Sort Code – 30 91 91    Account No – 37273368. The reference for the payment should be OHGAS

Cash will not be accepted.

The order will be prepared for collection and the time and date for collection will be emailed to the member by the Hut Manager.

Casual sales will not be permitted.

THE TRADING HUT - 25TH MARCH 2020

UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE HAD TO MAKE THE DECISION TO CLOSE THE TRADING HUT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.  ALL SITES WILL, HOWEVER, REMAIN OPEN UNTIL WE ARE TOLD OTHERWISE BY THE GOVERNMENT.

URGENT APPEAL!!

Hedges and Fences

Members are reminded that it is their responsibility to keep all hedges and fences bordering their plots in a tidy condition.  If anyone is unable to take care of this themselves, they should speak to their site stewards so that some help can be found.

POLITE WARNING

Members are respectfully reminded that they must not go onto other member's plots without that member's permission!

Vacancies for Stewards

We desperately need a steward at our Elm Close site (ideally two) and an additional steward for Willow Close.  If you are interested in taking on this role, please contact Penny on ohgassecretary@gmail.com and she will provide you with further information.

OHGAS Working Party

We are currently looking for volunteers from our membership to assist with site maintanance over the Summer months, which allows costs and rents to stay at a minimum, along with building a happy community within our allotment sites. 

If you feel that you have a little bit of time to spare and would like to join your site's working party group, then please email me at ohgassecretary@gmail.com so that I can add you to our list of volunteers who we can call on as and when required.

2019 AGM

Our 2019 AGM took place on Friday 8th March 2019.  Full minutes will be circulated shortly.

BEAN POLES

We have been approached by the Rutland Water Nature Reserve Officer asking whether any of our members would be interested in purchasing bean poles from their coppice woodland.
