BHAF Allotment Forum
Patcham : 10th June 2015

Dear Allotmenteer,
 
You are invited to our Allotment Forum Meeting;
 
Wednesday 10th June 2015 
6.30pm 'Surgery'
7.00pm Meeting Start
at Patcham Community Centre, Ladies Mile Road, BN1 8TA
 
All allotment holders and co workers are invited to attend.
Site Reps are expected to attend as part of their role.
 
The meeting is in 2 parts; the first half hour, beginning at 6.30pm, is an informal surgery where people have an opportunity to speak to BHAF members or the Council Allotment Officer on a one-to-one basis over a cup of tea.  This allows individual and personal issues to be dealt with more quickly and efficiently. 
 
The second part of the meeting begins at 7pm and relates to more general and city-wide allotment issues.  If you have a problem/question or an item for the agenda, come and talk to us during the surgery and we will do our best to help.

There is free parking at Patcham Community Centre and on surrounding streets. 
For those travelling by bus, the 5 and 5A buses stop within 2 minutes walk of the centre (The Ladies Mile bus stop). 
 
Timetable details can be found here:

We'd love to hear your comments about alternative gardening techniques on allotments, especially in regards to the rules revision process which is taking place.
