The lottery fund bid submitted in August has now been passed to the second stage so is progressing in the right direction. We will get some help from an adviser about completing the second stage application and should hear more about this in the next couple of weeks.

We have already received a grant of £250 from East Riding of Yorkshire Council to be used for the provision of deep raised beds and compost bays for our disabled access/schools plot.

Our bank account is up and running and includes a small amount raised from members who utilised the discount seed scheme.

I’d like take this opportunity on behalf of the Gravel Pit Allotment Association to wish all our readers a Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year.
