It was well attended with around 170 people turning up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">BHAF is run by allotment holders and its stated aim is to protect and promote the rights of &#8220;allotmenteers&#8221; in Brighton &amp; Hove.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Brighton and Hove Allotments<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Currently there are 3,042 lettable plots, with 203 vacancies. The waiting list of 1,182 is down from the last two years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The two hour meeting, chaired by Allan Brown, covered funding, wildlife preserves, allotment waiting lists, site representatives and new promotional literature. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Media personality and organic gardening expert Bob Flowerdew gave a fascinating and entertaining talk for the final hour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>BHAF BUDGET<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">BHAF work with a small budget \u2013 last year was less than \u00a36,000 \u2013 but received some extra council funding, including a \u00a32,500 grant towards promotional materials for new plot holders. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Brighton &amp; Hove City Council also allocated \u00a36,000 for site development. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The majority of this was spent on a new roof and removal of the old asbestos roof for the meeting room\/store hut at the Moulescoombe Estate site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>SITE REPRESENTATIVES<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Site representatives were present, and posed several questions to the committee. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Richard Howard, site rep. officer, said that from now on notices of a site representative vote will be posted on the gates to all relevant allotment sites. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">He also agreed to notify standing site representatives that they will be continuing in their role if their position remained uncontested, as most do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>BUTTERFLY CONSERVATION<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">It was noted that nettle patches do sometime provide a natural habitat for certain species of butterflies and birds, and should be left intact. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">In conjunction with the <em>Brighton and Lewes Downs Biosphere<\/em>, an information leaflet about butterfly conservation has been produced and will be provided to all site representatives. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">BHAF Publicity Officer Mark Carroll said he would be putting the leaflet online in response to audience requests for this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The Roedale Valley allotment site already has a butterfly plot for butterfly conservation, and the <em>Butterfly Conservation Society<\/em> and managing it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Endangered <a href=\"http:\/\/butterfly-conservation.org\/files\/red-list.pdf\">butterfly species<\/a>, such as the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ukbutterflies.co.uk\/species.php?species=w-album\">White Letter Hairstreak<\/a>, have been found on two sites already, including this one, so designating problem plots as butterfly conservation zones is proving effective. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The council are fully supportive of this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Commenting on leaving parts of some allotment patches as &#8216;wild&#8217; and the new relaxed rules on tidiness, the Plot Liaison Officer Giuseppina Salamone, said :<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"> &#8216;Being scruffy is healthy to wildlife. We are not despotic. I am in favour of an allotment that looks a bit lively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8216;The new rules are about respect for your neighbours &#8230; grow your nettles in the middle!&#8217;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>WELCOME PACK FOR NEW ALLOTMENTEERS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">A new, colourful and instructive welcome pack has been produced by BHAF in conjunction with <em>Brighton and Hove Good Partnership<\/em>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">It features a basic calendar guide for planting and sowing as well as a host of other important information. Common beginner mistakes are also highlighted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">A main theme of the pack was protection of wildlife areas and sites of local nature importance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Brighton and Hove City Council allotment rules can be downloaded <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhaf.org.uk\/documents\/allotment_rules_v3_Dec_2011.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>BOB FLOWERDEW TALK<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Regular Gardeners&#8217; Question time panelist and author <strong>Bob Flowerdew<\/strong> gave a wonderfully eloquent and witty talk for the last hour of the AGM.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">As well as a host of amusing gardening anecdotes, he provided a plethora of gardening tips, covering root crops, grapevines, container planting, gardening idealism versus realism and planning. He said;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8216;Concentrate on what we want and how we are going to get there. Over and over again we do things that don&#8217;t make life easy for ourselves.&#8217;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">He cited simple tips such as sharpening your hoe regularly and using left over boiled water from kettles to kill weeds. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">He also said that many existing gardening guides were either outdated and old fashioned, or pitched towards commercial growers rather than allotmenteers, so revised contemporary information was very necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">In all, an excellent talk and a very inspiring and informative evening. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Allotment gardening, wildlife preservation and biodiversity is clearly thriving in our City, and with Council support in conjunction with various conservation groups, this vital area of our society can only continue to improve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><em>For further information, visit:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALLOTMENT FEDERATION<\/strong> : <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhaf.org.uk\">http:\/\/www.bhaf.org.uk<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>BOB FLOWERDEW<\/strong> : <a href=\"http:\/\/bobflowerdew.co.uk\">http:\/\/bobflowerdew.co.uk<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>BRIGHTON AND LEWES DOWNS CONSERVATION<\/strong> : <a href=\"http:\/\/biospherehere.org.uk\">http:\/\/biospherehere.org.uk<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>BRIGHTON AND HOVE FOOD PARTNERSHIP<\/strong> : <a href=\"http:\/\/bhfood.org.uk\">http:\/\/bhfood.org.uk<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>BRIGHTON AND HOVE WILDLIFE FORUM<\/strong> : <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhwf.org.uk\">http:\/\/www.bhwf.org.uk<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Andrew M Collins<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11100,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,104],"tags":[1526,1525,70],"class_list":["post-11098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gardening","category-local-news-brighton","tag-andrew-m-collins","tag-bhaf","tag-brighton"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Brighton &amp; Hove Allotments - THE NEWS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Brighton and Hove Allotments (BHAF) held their AGM at the Brighthelm Centre with over 170 people reports Andrew M.
