Bury Road Allotment Association Bury Road Allotment Association was formed in February 2020 but due to Covid 19 we were unable to hold any events until this year. On 6th August we held a BBQ where about 20 of our members enjoyed a grand evening socialising, having fun and getting to know each other better. On the 28th September we held a coffee morning in aid of MacMillan Cancer, again there was a good turn out of Plot Holders to support us and we were able to raise £120 for this good cause. Bonfire Night came along, and we gathered again with Hot Soup and Hot Dogs around Fire Pits having fun and socialising together. We didn’t have any fireworks because of the livestock on our site but we did enjoy the displays of our neighbours. We intend to hold a Christmas Carol Sing Along in December where we will serve Hot Mulled Wine, Mince Pies and Sausage Rolls. My sincere thanks go to all committee members, and especially Geof (Vice-Chair) & Maggie Young, and my wife Jean for all their help. I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Happy and Peaceful Christmas. Peter Vale, Chairman
