St George’s Allotment Association www.melbourncambridge.co.uk/allotments/ St George’s Allotment Association was formed on 23rd April this year at an open meeting in Melbourn. The elected committee will hold their posts for one year. We are not just here for allotment holders but for any member of the community who has an interest in growing their own food. We are affiliated with the National Society of Allotment and Leisure Gardeners Ltd (NSALG) who represent allotments and allotment gardens nationwide, providing membership to allotment societies, allotment holders and general gardeners. The benefits of membership of St George’s and NSALG include: Discounted seed scheme Quarterly magazine Introduction to a specialised insurance provider Advice and guidance We aim to work with the Parish council in improving the allotment site in Melbourn and also to work within the community helping with Grow Your Own projects. We had an awareness stall at the Village Fete in June, hosting a scarecrow competition for Melbourn Primary School. This was a very successful exercise and raised a considerable sum of money which has gone towards equipment for the Schools vegetable garden. So if you are interested in gardening or just growing your own veg and want to join a like minded group of people, or if you just want more information then get in touch, contact us via our website: www.melbourncambridge.co.uk/allotments/ or email: Bruce Huett brucehuett@compuserve.com The Scarecrow competition at the village Fete in June
