Who we are
Thank you for visiting our
website...we hope you find it interesting.
Our group was formed back
in January-February 2009...after several members had been searching for
suitable land in the area. With support from local councillors and the
comittee members of our Parish Hall, we were offered a field adjacent
to the Tennis Courts in Dudleston Heath. We currently have 12 allotment
plots...two of which are half-plots. We have an on site water supply
and are hoping to provide a communal shed/prefab building in the near
future.
The group is run strictly
as a non-profit organisation and funds are colleted from our members
as and when we need to purchase items...it seems to work very well and
every member is keen to contribute in terms of money and time. We are
all very proud of our achievement...in just a few months a grassed field
has been partially drained, a water supply added and 12 working plots
have been created and are currently producing some beautiful produce.
We all possess
differing levels of horticultural experience...and generally speaking
the more experienced members are usually very keen to advise or assist
the "beginners".
(If they require help)
Families with children are
very welcome...sorry dogs are not.
How to locate
us
The allotment site is particularly
easy to find...we are located on the B5068 Ellesmere (North
Shropshire) to St Martins Road. Dudleston Heath is situated aproximately
half way between Ellesmere (North Shropshire) &
St Martins. Whichever direction you enter the village, just lookout for
the
"Parish Pump"/Parish Hall (photo below) Drive into the main car
park... and we're through the gate with the "No Dogs" sign. (Next
to the recycling bins) and to the left of the Tennis Courts. Postcode SY12
