Just 5 good reasons to rent an
allotment
with the Westcliff Land Cultivation Society here at Springfield Drive,
Westcliff on Sea, Essex;
GOOD
FOOD: A chance to grow your own healthy,
locally produced fruit and vegetables (and it’s cheaper than the shops!)
GOOD
COMMUNITY: Meet other people in a
friendly, sociable atmosphere
GOOD HEALTH: Plenty of gentle exercise and fresh air
GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT: Allotments
help to promote biodiversity and encourage habitat for urban wildlife
such as birds, hedgehogs, amphibians and reptiles
GOOD FUN: Best of all,
having an allotment is about enjoying yourself!

The WLCS annual general meeting will be on Sunday 16th November at
10:30am in the canteen. All are welcome to attend. Members are entitled
to put themselves forward to stand for the offices of Chair, Treasurer

Plot to Pot
Please continue to leave any donations or spare produce for the 'Plot
to Pot'
Homeless Action Resource Project at the Trading Shed - we intend to
collect on the 3rd Saturday of each month.
Notices from the Committee
Trading Shed - Seeds and gardening requisites available at (still) good
prices; volunteers needed to assist at weekends in the shop.
Mowers available to hire from the Trading Shed @ £2 a go.
Security fence - cover needs maintaining well in order to deter
people from climbing over – so please do not cut back the shrubs that
have been planted by the fence.
Lock the gates always - frequent offenders (non-lockers) will forfeit
membership - note that there has been a recent shed fire and the big
outdoor table was stolen earlier in the year.
Christmas raffle donations welcome, many thanks to all who contribute!
