Please come for a walk down the path - maybe just once a week. Keep looking and soon you'll see seedlings and then flowers. We hope you enjoy the wildflower meadow everyone created on the 1st of February.<br />

Our plan is to transform this unloved walk into a place you will want to visit rather than just use as a shortcut.We still have loads more to do. If you would like to get involved the next working party is on Saturday 1st March 2014. The plan for the next section of Radbourne Walk is to build a loggery to help our stag beetles.<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
We did a bit of tweaking to the proposed constitution and then we took a vote. Everyone was in favour of the new constitution - no one voted against and there were no abstentions.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
We also voted for the committee members. There is more info on our <a href="http://ealingdean.blogspot.co.uk/p/constitution.html">constitution page - which has now been updated</a>. We will also post the minutes here in the next few weeks.<br />
<br />
So, we are official. We can start dealing formally with Pathways and officially take over management of the site.<br />
<br />
I hope we can look forward to a whole new chapter in the allotments' life.<br />

I have a favourite TV programme - it's called DIY SOS. They help people who have become overwhelmed with the task of extending their home. Some poor soul works every weekend, every evening, every spare moment - but the building work never seems to be finished. Then maybe illness slows them down and it all grinds to a halt. At DIY SOS they bring expertise - but importantly they throw a lot of people at the problem. </div>

Well plot 243 is our problem - unloved and supposedly uncultivateable. To get this plot cleared we would need plenty of people to volunteer their time and get stuck in. </div>

I Just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who turned up this morning. The plot is looking so good. It just shows that if enough people come together you can take an overwhelming problem and make it manageable. But, importantly you can make it enjoyable too.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I really appreciate all the support - from everyone who has turned up for the three clearance days. I hope the other plot holders who couldn't make it - appreciate the effort too.<br />
<div>

<div>
....Next stop - the communal plot ;-)<br />

So, today was day-two on plot 243. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On day-one we used brush cutters and strimmers, today it was rakes and a box of matches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The strimming and several years of neglect had left behind a lot of plant material to clear away. We've spent the day raking it up .</div>

It has been left unused for a long time and the longer it is left the worse it will get. It's really sad because it is a great plot, the soil is good and there are even some raised beds. There are two fruit trees, raspberries, holly for a Christmas wreath, and you can see bulbs pushing through the soil. It is close to a gate and water - what more could you want.<br />

<a name='more'></a>The trouble is it is very overgrown. I've no idea why it wasn't rented out sooner - before the brambles had a chance to take hold, but, it wasn't. At one point our landlord (Pathways) had it on their spreadsheet as "uncultivateable". Now there is a challenge, if ever I saw one.<br />
<br />
To clear a plot you need plenty of willing helpers and some sunshine....and luckily we had both. Today, six of us turned up on site with two strimmers, a brush cutter (for the serious stuff), a pair of lopers, multiple secateurs and some very thick gloves. It was a frosty start to the day. But, the sun shone and it was actually quite warm.<br />

A huge thanks to everyone that turned up to help. We're another step closer to getting a communal plot.<br />

If you couldn't make it this time - don't worry - there's still some more to do! So, I'll be asking for volunteers again - once we get some dry weather ;-)<br />

<span style="font-family: "Gill Sans";">The next plot holder meeting will be the</span><span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans';"> inaugural AGM of the Ealing Dean Allotment Society:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Gill Sans"; font-size: 16pt;">Tuesday 14<sup>th</sup> January 2014<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Gill Sans"; font-size: 16pt;">Start time 19.30<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Gill Sans"; font-size: 16pt;">The Main Hall,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Gill Sans";">Back in September, the Pathways Board of Trustees gave approval for a move to self-management at Haslemere and Northfields Allotments. For this to work they wanted us to set up a society with an elected chair, treasurer and secretary.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Gill Sans";"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans';">A society must have a constitution – a set of rules and regulations on how it will conduct itself and work with its members. So, we asked for volunteers and a steering group was put together of nine plot holders.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Gill Sans";">Paul McConnell (plot 218) spent a great deal of time looking at the different types of constitutions already in use by allotment and garden societies. He looked at best practice and has ensured that a future committee has a constitution acceptable to the charity commission.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Gill Sans";">The constitution is 8 pages long. So we have set up this site and <a href="http://ealingdean.blogspot.co.uk/p/constitution.html">posted it there for you to read</a>. (Any members not on email will be sent it in the post.)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Gill Sans";">As a plot holder at Northfields Allotments - we would ask you to take some time to read through this proposed constitution. These things are pretty dry and boring. But, we want to get it right and have something that is acceptable to plot holders.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Gill Sans";">Over the last two months the steering group have debated and discussed the content and we believe we have a constitution that will work. We hope you agree. You can read it here:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Gill Sans";">We have booked a room on Tuesday 14<sup>th</sup> January 2014 at the Northfields Community centre to give you a chance to ask us about the constitution, make any changes and ask you to vote on accepting it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Gill Sans";">If plotholders vote to accept the constitution we will then need to vote for a Chair, Treasurer and Secretary for the society. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
