Christmas Post 2013


CHRISTMAS NEWS FROM HARPERS LANE

 

  1. We have received a £100 grant from Barclays to enable us to replace the items stolen in the burglary. The money should be here next week, so we'll try to get a new microwave etc. after Christmas.
  2. The ABAS meeting on Dec 5th went well. ABAS are meeting with Malcolm Russell in January to discuss the Council's proposals for managing allotments following the cuts.
  3. The accounts are now with Christine as the Auditor - after Christmas she, David and David Walsh (plot 70) will do the returns for the Financial Conduct Authority and the HMRC. Life is more complicated as a co-operative! We are aiming to have our AGM in either January or February. We just need to find a suitable (warm and dry) venue.
  4. The site insurance has been renewed.
  5. The 2014 Subscriptions will be due in January.

 Best Wishes, Happy Christmas to All
