MESSAGE FROM BRYAN GAUNT

Hi All

As you know a considerable amount of effort has gone in to keeping harmony with the allotment holders regarding the gate access.

It appears that both side are not entirely adhering to the agreed process.

Please would you take every opportunity to remind members that on non club days or special event days upon entering and leaving the club the gate MUST BE closed. The last member leaving the club needs to lock the gate.
