May Close Community Allotment

Posted on 03 November 2020

We’ve been focusing a lot of effort trying to get the polytunnel installed before the worst of the weather arrived, as well as the pond (which still needs more work).

It’s great to now have somewhere warm and dry to work on inclement days. We were most fortunate to be given a lot of manure as well as some garden furniture (which our volunteers have been renovating), two compost bins, a water butt and some pallets – all of which have been put to very good use.  Big thanks to everyone for their generosity in terms of materials and of course our regular volunteers for their time, energy and enthusiasm – none of it would happen without your support.

The water catchment system off the polytunnel definitely works – the 1000 litre water container ended up full after only one week! Looking forward to seeing how everything grows in the tunnel over the winter now and what creatures we end up in the pond.

Some of our team were away today so we couldn't do as many repairs as usual. Apologies to those who couldn't get a booking and we are very full for the next one already on the electrical side, although we will have space for sewing repairs.

Big thanks to all who braved the weather today, especially to our wonderful team who are faced with unpredictable and often very challenging repairs, but handle them with a smile and a cheerful conversation.

Have you got a spare 10 minutes to help us protect our coastline?

This Thursday (17 August) we’re hosting a beach clean to make sure that our shoreline is looking its best during the last weeks of summer.

The beach clean will be going on from 10am to midday. No booking is required, and all equipment is provided.

Anyone wanting to take part should meet at the Coastal Office, between the Pier and the Lido on the promenade.

The event forms part of our Big Clean Up initiative, which has seen a series of beach cleans and litter picks take part across our town.

May Close allotment producing so much this year - this was yesterday's yield, to be shared among our volunteers and any surplus to go to a local food bank.
Big thanks to Tom, Michael and Sally for coming to help. Lovely to see Tracey, her daughter Rachel and to meet Tracey's grand-daughter Evelyn, who popped in to see us.
