Admit it, does your hallway all too oftenbecome a dumping ground where bags,shoes and coats are quickly discarded enroute to the sofa or kitchen?

When it comes to stylish interiors,halls and landings are probably the mostoverlooked.

But unused space in a hallway or landingcould be transformed into a usefulfunctional area, or simply embraced as anopportunity to display art, family photos, orto store your keys and coats in style.

Warm welcomeFirst impressions count, and your hallwaywill set the tone when you or guests enterthrough your front door.

Alan Hughes, faculty director inarchitectural interior design at the InchbaldSchool of Design, says: “You want to feelwelcomed, received back into the securityof your own zone, and guests need to knowwhose house they are in and that they arewelcome too.

“Hallways are transitional spaces so

you remain in them less - this gives you achance to be bold and experiment.”

An easy place to start is by thinking aboutcolour and texture. Your approach to thesewill vary depending on whether you wantto achieve a sleek, contemporary look,or whether you’d prefer a softer, moretraditional, homely feel.

“Vibrant and warm colours arewelcoming,” says Hughes. “Dramaticcolours can look jewel-like as a door opens,which is a great encouragement to enter.”

Fab flooringCarpets went out of fashion for a while, aseverybody preferred the sleeker, easy-careappeal of wood and laminate flooring, butthey’ve been enjoying a comeback of late.

Choosing a carpet will certainly help youachieve a ‘warm welcome’, as soft texturesare instantly inviting. Also, a splash oftexture and colour can be the perfect offsetto clinical, minimalist walls.

The other options are wood flooringor tiles. Real hardwood flooring can beexpensive. But it’s a timeless look that willnever go out of fashion. Consider reclaimedtimber sourced from your local area: goodfor the environment and easier on yourpocket.

Tiling is a traditional option for hallway

floors. Clean, neutral tiles work brilliantlyfor that minimalist, contemporary look(perhaps consider a colourful rug to breakthings up). But this is somewhere you couldachieve something stunning too, withbeautiful, patterned antique-style tiles.

Wonderful wallsTexture isn’t limited to floors; it can be

achieved on walls too. Wallpapers are oneoption, and there are endless designs onoffer nowadays, but a great option forhallways, stairs and landings is panelling.

Functional fittingsHow you use your hall will determine the

furniture to include in it.“I need a dish for my keys and loose

change, which I always take out of mypockets as soon as I get home,” says Hughes.

“An oak chest under the stairs hides clutterand is a good shelf for briefcases and schoolbags. We use a very large glass punch bowl tokeep scarves, gloves and hats neat and tidy,but easy to see.

“Keep furniture to a minimum; adaptradiator covers to house umbrellas and keyspace.”

Mirrors can also help create the illusionof added space and depth, and it’s alwayshandy to position one near your front doorso you can check your reflection quicklybefore heading out!

If space is limited but you still need storagefor shoes and coats, compact shelving,hooks and shoe racks will help keep the areatidy.

If you have sufficient space, why not lookat creating a mini home office area? Evenplacing a desk on a landing could make avast difference, providing the perfect answerto space dilemmas elsewhere in the house.

Unused space under the stairs, or at thetops of landings, could be turned intostylish studies or library areas, with shelvingand even some comfy seating.

If your space and budget don’t stretch thatfar, installing a desk is a great alternative,and hallway walls are perfect for displayingphotos or other colourful items.

weddings

Setting the dateWhen it comes to choosing the monthof your wedding May is considered to beparticularly unlucky. This is because inPagan times May was the start of summerwhen the festival of Beltane was celebratedwith outdoor orgies! This was thereforethought to be an unsuitable time to startmarried life. In Roman times the Feast ofthe Dead and the Festival of the Goddessof Chastity both occurred in May. Theadvice was taken very seriously in Victoriantimes and Queen Victoria was said to haveforbidden her children from marrying inMay. However, if you marry when the yearis new your love is said to be “kind andtrue.” The day you have your weddingwas also believed to have an effect on yourmarriage with an old rhyme suggesting,“Monday weddings for wealth”, “Tuesdayfor health”, “Wednesday the best day of all”,“Thursday for losses”, “Friday for crosses”and “Saturday for no luck at all.”

Flower powerFlowers are very symbolic, particularlyat weddings. Peonies represent shameand azaleas represent temperance. Rosessymbolise love and snowdrops representhope, but don’t combine them as red andwhite flowers together stand for blood andbandages.

Dress dilemmasThe bride should not wear her entire outfitbefore the wedding day. Some brides leavea final stitch on the dress undone until itis time to leave for the ceremony when the

outfit is completed.Before the wedding it is also said to be goodluck to tuck a sugar cube into the bride’sglove. According to Greek culture the sugarwill sweeten your union and if you slip acoin into your shoe you will have prosperity.You should also try if you can (we don’tknow how) to get a cat to eat out of your leftshoe one week before the wedding as thiswill bring good luck to your married life.And according to English tradition it is greatif you find a spider in your dress – we’re stillnot convinced.

Ring a ding dingBe sure that your wedding rings fit correctlyas a tight ring might point to painfuljealousy or the stifling of one party by theother. But don’t go too loose as this couldmean a parting of the ways through carelessacts of forgetfulness.

Before the churchWhen the bride is ready to leave the housefor the wedding ceremony a last look in themirror will bring her good luck. However,don’t be too vain as returning to the mirroronce your journey has started will have theopposite effect.There are lots of good luck omens to lookout for on your journey to the church. Theseinclude lambs, toads, spiders, black catsand rainbows. Seeing a chimney sweep issaid to be the luckiest and it is still possibleto hire one to attend wedding ceremonies.And before you spend lots of money on anexpensive car or horse and carriage to get toyour wedding, walking is thought to be the

best way of getting to the Church, as there’smore chance of spotting lucky omens.

After the weddingOnce you’ve got through the wedding thereare lots of things you can do to boost yourchances of a happy marriage – in particularfertility. In Scotland they would crumbleoatcakes over the bride’s head to promotefertility, while in Ireland a laying hen wastied to the bed on the first honeymoonnight in the hope that some of its fertilitywould be passed on to the couple. But ifyou can’t get hold of a laying hen, eating adouble yolked egg was also thought to havethe same effect.Going home the bride must enter the newmarital home through the main entrance.It is traditional for the groom to carry thebride over the threshold when they enterfor the first time. The reason for this isuncertain. One explanation is that the bridewill be visited by bad luck if she falls whenentering. An alternative is that the bridewill be unlucky if she steps into the newhome with the left foot first. The bride canavoid both mishaps by being carried. A thirdexplanation is that it symbolises the oldAnglo-Saxon custom of the groom stealinghis bride and carrying her off.

halloween

Afterlife inPetersfield

OriginThere are lots of theories on the origin ofHalloween, however many similarities canbe seen with the ancient Celtic festival ofSamhain, when people would light bonfiresand wear costumes to ward off roamingghosts. In the eighth century, Pope GregoryIII designated November 1 as a time tohonour all saints and martyrs; the holiday,All Saints’ Day, incorporated some of thetraditions of Samhain. The evening beforewas known as All Hallows’ Eve and laterHalloween. Over time, Halloween thenbecame the secular, event that we knowtoday, characterised by child-friendlyactivities such as trick-or-treating.

Local hauntsEvery year Paul Ullson takes visitors for aspooky walk around Cowdray Park Estate,telling the tales of its legends and legacies.Here Paul answers some of our ghostquestions and reveals the haunting historyof Cowdray

What is a ghost?Some people regard a ghost as the spiritualremains of someone who has died,sometimes suddenly, violently or who

doesn’t know that they have died; somepeople regard a ghost as an echo of theperson when they were alive, the life energyof the person trapped in stone or wood thatcan been seen at certain temperatures oratmospheric conditions.

Are all ghosts evil?There is little evidence to suggest that“ghosts” are evil. In fact people seldom“see” anything, rather then feel or sense apresence. There are cases of poltergeists,said to be spirits or ghosts who can movethings or throw things across rooms.Hollywood has given the world a verybiased, and in many cases, wrong view ofwhat ghosts are and what they can do.

Why do ghosts make contact?Mediums have speculated that spirits ofthose who have passed over make contactwith the living to reassure loved ones theyare OK, to help, or they need help to passover because they don’t know that theyhave died.

What is the curse of Cowdray?There are two versions, resulting in theso called curse... during the dissolution

of the monasteries during the reign ofHenry VIII, the Priory at Easebourne, nearto Cowdray, and the great BenedictineMonastery at Battle, were both closed, andtheir goods and lands seized. The prioressat Easebourne or Chapline, or the Prior atBattle or a monk, cursed the new ownersto die by fire and water...The new ownerof Easebourne was William FitzWilliam,and the new owner of Battle was AnthonyBrowne, they were half brothers. Williamhad no children, so all the estates and landshe owned passed to Anthony Browne, whobecame Viscount Montague and the ownerof Cowdray. In 1793 Cowdray burnt down,and the last surviving male heirs of theBrowne family died by drowning, in twoseparate unrelated incidents. So with thehouse in ruins and the family line at an endthe local tradition of the curse was retoldand remembered.

What ghosts are at Cowdray?There are a number of “ghost” relatedstories, the most popular being that of theWhite/Grey lady who stands in the windowof the Gate House.

Halloween is fast becoming one of the nation’s favourite holidays and, as we approachthe scary date, we’ve been learning more about this eerie annual event and what willbe petrifying us in Petersfield this year

These areoften regarded as first stage manifestationof ghosts or spirits. I have seen picturesof orbs, small balls of light captured oncamera or film that again are regarded asthe presence of a spirit or ghost. And thereare smells of certain plants which I havesmelt, although there are no plants growingon site.

What happened on the day?The day started early. All torchbearers forPetersfield, Rogate and Midhurst met atChurchers’ College at 6.45am to get to knoweach other, hear each other’s stories andhave a briefing and a Q&A session withthe organisers. It helped to make us morerelaxed; I think most of us were gettingpretty nervous at this stage. Then, before weknew it, it was time for all the torchbearersto jump on the bus where we all headed tothe south of Petersfield where the first ofus would meet the torch procession to run.No turning back now! We were numberedso we knew who was getting out next. Oncewe got dropped off at our starting pointwe had to wait at the side of the road forthe torch to catch us up (this was the mostnerve-racking bit for me, standing with thecrowd watching, waiting for the flame toget to me – I wasn’t sure what to do withmyself!) Soon though the torch was with me,I had the flame transferred to me (called the“kiss”) and I started running and waving!The crowds were amazing and I don’t think

Diary of atorchbearer…

Tim Hornby was one of thelucky few to carry the Olympictorch through Petersfield onthe 16 July. Here we find outmore about that memorableday and what he has gotplanned next

I’ve ever experienced anything quite likeit. I ran my section right into the heart ofPetersfield High Street and transferredthe flame to local lad Adam Massey. Aftereach torchbearer’s section of the relay wegot on a different bus at the back of theprocession and followed the torch until we’dbeen through all three towns, finishing inMidhurst. Then it was a short drive back toChurchers’ College where our friends andfamilies waited to collect us.

What were you thinking?“Oh my goodness, look at all these people– I must not fall over, I must not fall over!”Then, as I got into it, more along the lines of“wow, this is incredible, I’m actually beingblown away here!”

Who nominated you?My godfather, Ed Murphy. He ran with theOlympic torch relay for Vancouver 2010Winter Olympics. I’d never been to see himin Canada (although he’s been to the UKto visit us many times) so thought it was

the ideal opportunity to finally goand see him. I watched him do itand loved the experience so whennominations opened he put myname forward for the charity workI’ve done.

You’ve been busy with theExplore Bipolar charityrecently, what is that?Explore Bipolar is a group of peoplewho want to raise awareness aboutmental health issues, in particularbipolar. Oh, and raise tons of cashwhich is going to Bipolar UK.

How have you raised money?A team of us cycled from Land’s End toJohn O’Groats mostly off-road. Most peoplewho do end-to-end cycle the shortest,fastest route they can, but we wanted to doit differently, and off-road, incorporatinga highs and lows theme (to tie in with thesymptoms of bipolar). We visited Portishead(five meters below sea-level when the tideis out) and walked Ben Nevis en route too.19 days in a row of cycling for about 10 or11 hours a day. It was gruelling – highs andlows was an appropriate theme in morethan just altitude – but it was also extremelyrewarding.

How did you prepare?I don’t prepare as much as I should to behonest! For the cycle I was cycling to andfrom work a couple of times a week (35mile round trip) for only month beforethe event, with a couple of longer weekendrides thrown in. I think I’m sickeningly luckythat I have a good, natural level of fitnessand strength.

What’s next?I’m having weekly lessons to learnfront crawl for a triathlon at the end ofSeptember. I thought breaststroke wouldbe too slow in a race! By all accounts HeverCastle in Kent is supposed to be beautiful,so it sounds like it will be a lovely settingeven if I don’t nail the swimming techniquebefore then. I’m also keeping the cyclinggoing as I’m in a road race called “Legs ofSteel” which is 82km of up and down hills inSurrey – sounds painful!

Your ultimate challenge?Well, someone suggested cycling acrossEurope. I’d love to do that. I’ve used mostof my leave for the year, though, and I’dcertainly need to save up a load of money todo it (I’m still paying for the last big ride!)

Meon Facial was created by award winingdentist Dr Ian Hallam MBE in a bid tobring facial rejuvenation and improvedskin health and care to the community.Successfully running dental practice, MeonDental, for over 24 years, Dr Ian HallamMBE hopes the clinic will follow on from thepractices’ achievements, giving customerssomething different from the average clinic.

As well as the latest beauty therapies,including eye lash extensions and tinting,the clinic specialises in giving non-surgicaltreatments to enhance their customers’natural beauty. These include BotulinumToxin, Dermal Fillers, Cheek Augmentation,Skin Revitalisation, Decolletage, ChemicalPeels, Dermaroller micro-needling andTotal Facial Sculpting. However, keen toallay the common fears of trout pouts and

forced expressions traditionally associatedwith these treatments, Hallam explains,“The biggest compliment I can receive iswhen a client says their friends don’t knowthey have had a treatment done but theyjust can’t explain why they look really well.”

Only in my twenties, I was unsure whattreatment would be best for me andwhether or not I was really the targetmarket. Yet, when I arrived at the clinic,practice manager Joanna Koussertari toldme about the SkinCeuticals skincare alsoavailable at Meon Face. These specialisedtreatments focus on preventing, correctingand protecting – perfect for my age group.

Before deciding on the right SkinCeuticalproduct for me, Joanna carried out adetailed analysis of my skin, questioningme about my skin history and any skinconditions I have experienced. After myanalysis, Joanna recommended a productthat would help reinforce my skin’s naturaldefences against environmental damageand diminish the appearance of myblemishes.

The antioxidant remedy was thenapplied to my skin with a relaxing facial.Afterwards I could instantly see noticeableimprovements. But Joanna explained tome the importance of continuing to usea SkinCeutical antioxidant as part of myskincare routine if I wanted to continueto protect my skin from sun and otherenvironmental damage.

Following my facial I had the chanceto experience the latest craze in the nailworld with a Shellac Nails TM manicure.Unlike traditional manicures, Shellac NailsTM last up to 14 days without chippingor smudging, retaining a glossy shinethroughout. Notorious for chipped polishednails I was especially excited about thistreatment. I had a variety of colours tochoose from as well as the option to use myown nail polish that they could then applya clear shellac polish on top of to give thesame long lasting results.

In October 2012, looking forward to competing inthe Sprint World Championships, and the AquathlonChampionships in New Zealand.

What attracted you to triathlons?I came to triathlon relatively late and somewhatby accident. As a member of the England Lacrossesquad I took triathlon on for some variety in theoff season to help maintain my fitness. My firsttriathlon was the Pembrokeshire Sprint in Wales in 2004 which I did for fun and to taste adifferent challenge. I had got the bug. I really enjoyed it and took the leap of purchasing myfirst road bike and wetsuit! It wasn’t until 2010 when I reached a watershed and decided Iwanted to see how well I could do if invested more time and training into the sport.

health

To many, a triathlon may sound like animpossible challenge. However, theycan be a great way to break up themonotony of just running or swimmingin order to get fit and lose weight. Herewe learn more about triathlons from theexperts at the Petersfield Triathlon Club

What is a triathlon?A triathlon is a three stage competition whichmay take many forms but the most commonform, and that which is an Olympic sport,involves swimming, cycling and running, inthat order.

How do I prepare?As with any sporting event preparation isessential. For triathlon there are three parts topreparation:1) Training in all three disciplines2) Practising transitions3) Preparing the kit you need for the eventEach of the disciplines uses completelydifferent muscles and body positions so goingfrom one discipline to the next places differentphysical demands on the body.

Do I need any special equipment?The minimum equipment you can get awaywith is a bathing costume for pool basedevent or wetsuit for open water swim, goggles,clothing for the bike ride and run, road bike,helmet, safety pins (to attach your number) andrunning shoes. There is a wealth of equipmentyou can buy - both clothing and bikes plus allsorts of gels, drinks, energy bars etc to keep youfuelled on the way round. It’s probably worthinvesting in a triathlon suit or triathlon shortsboth of which have some padding to makethe bike ride a bit more comfortable withoutleaving you with a soggy pad hanging betweenyour legs and slowing down your run.

Can anyone compete?In short - yes - but the BTF do requirecompetitors to declare on entry forms thatthey are physically fit and that they have readand will abide by the BTF rules. One of the realattractions for triathlon is that age doesn’t matterbecause BTF operate an age category system formen and women - which means whatever yourage you will have an overall position in an eventplus an age category position.

Triathlon achievements:Winchester and Andover sprintsOlympic distance at Chichester

What is your best triathlonexperience?My best experience was the camaraderieamongst the other competitors in thepool at Chichester. There were very fewwomen in my wave (they set you off ingroups known as waves) and all the guysaround me were chatty and friendly andon learning it was my first attempt atthe bigger distance one of them pattedme on the back and said that I’d do apersonal best. That together with theencouragement from the other competitors - particularly during the run kept me going.It was hard, I had to really push myself during the run but it was worth it to discover I’dmanaged my fastest cycle ever over that course and I was 12th female overall. I did geta congratulatory e-mail from a fellow PTC member when he discovered I was first in myage category but I think that was largely because there were so few women of my age madenough to enter.

What advice would you give to someonethinking of doing a triathlon?Set yourself a realistic goal based on your ability.

Start with the small events to see if you likeit, then work up if you want to compete in anIronman or full distance event! These are not tobe taken lightly! I know too many people whocommit to a long distance event and do notgive themselves enough time to train and pullout when the reality dawns on them. PetersfieldTriathlon Club is affiliated with the BritishTriathlon Federation and we have a numberof qualified coaches. It is our job to managetriathletes coming into the sport so that the trainsafely, prepare properly and enjoy the sport bysetting themselves realistic goals.

Last September Bedales welcomed a newhead, Jane Grubb, to their prep school,Dunhurst. With 20 years educationexperience, Jane has always enjoyedteaching and has a particular interest inart. “I was Head of Art for eight years at myprevious school and then joined their SeniorTeam as a Year Head before becomingAcademic Deputy Head. For the last threeyears there, my focus turned to redesigningthe religion, ethics and philosophy courseand teaching English - the pupils reallymade me think!” Jane was attracted toBedales and the ways it enables pupils toexcel academically and in other areas, usingengaging and enjoyable techniques, ratherthan taxing and methodical. “There is ahuge breadth of activities and opportunitiesand the emphasis is placed on the pupilsto make choices and think for themselves,rather than being spoon fed.”

Jane hopes to continue the successBedales has already achieved and isparticularly interested in working withthe Arts and Sports department as well as

Over 87% of pupils achieved grades A*to B, or the equivalent of 7 to 5 pointsat Higher Level in the InternationalBaccalaureate Diploma which is offeredat the school as an alternative to ALevels.

care

What are the Social Care WhitePaper and Draft Bill?The bill and paper has been created tochange social care in the United Kingdomand introduce a system that is fundedequally within a simple legal structure.

Why is it needed?The current social care system is oftencriticised as being under-funded withoutdated and confusing legislation, leavingmany vulnerable people in social care at risk.

Facts• 800,000 older people have no formal

care support• Nearly 20,000 people each year are forced

to sell their homes to pay for care• The amount charged for services varies

according to local area. However, thefinancial threshold above which nofinancial support from the councilis provided is £23,250. Some councilssubsidise services and users are askedto make a contribution towards the cost.Others charge the full cost to the olderperson

• One in two people can expect to payaround £20,000 for care and one in tenpeople will pay more than £100,000

What will the bill introduce?• A duty to make information about local

care provision more easily accessibleonline. The government will provide£32.5m in “start-up funding” for this

• A “national minimum eligibility threshold”for access to care, and a similar thresholdfor support for carers. At present councilsdo not have to provide support to a carereven if they have identified a need

• A requirement to meet the assessedneeds of people who move into their areaimmediately, “until they carry out a newassessment of their own”

• A duty to “develop and maintain a diverserange of high quality care providers”locally

• A requirement to incorporate preventativepractice and early intervention in careservices.

Care Services Minister,Paul Burstow said:“People want a social care system that isfair, high quality and geared towards whatpeople actually want. Our White Paper,draft Bill and progress report mark the mostsignificant Government action in over 60years to fix a system that is fragmented,confusing and massively variable in terms ofquality and provision.

We are reforming social care and will bringabout lasting change to an overwhelmedand outdated system. Our plans will helpto drive up standards of care for people,bring about a more joined up preventativeapproach to care, enabling people to liveindependently for longer.

Most importantly however, it will putpeople at the centre of their own care andgive them more information to make theright choices about their needs.”

What do the experts think?Paul Tarsey, Group Managing Director,Bluebird Care:“The legislation is one thing but payingfor it is something different. There are twodiverging lines, one is the ageing populationand the other is, at best, a stagnant economy.

The questions are about the criteria peopleneed to meet before they will get statefunded care. One is about their level of need(just being old will not be enough in the eyesof the Treasury) and the other will be aboutthe amount of savings they have. Currentlyif you have more than £23,250 in savings youwill not be eligible for state funded care.

More and more people are opting out ofthe state system entirely and are choosing topurchase their care themselves. In that waythey decide what they want and when theywant it, whereas the state funded system willbe less flexible.”

Michelle Mitchell,Charity Director General of Age UK:“The policy proposals in the White Paperand the legal reforms are important andwe warmly welcome them. Together, theyhave the potential to significantly improvethe quality of care available and helpcreate a care system that is fairer and morestraightforward for older people and theirfamilies.

But this potential cannot be fully realiseduntil the Government faces up to andresolves the crucial issue of funding. Morethan a year on from the publication of theDilnot Commission’s report, we are leftasking just how strong the Government’scommitment is to implementing his twokey recommendations: to raise the means-test threshold and to set a cap on costs. TheGovernment’s commitment to the Dilnotapproach in principle is an importantmilestone, but without a clear plan for howthey intend to deliver on that commitmentthere are no guarantees the Dilnotrecommendations will be put into actionsoon, or possibly even at all.”

gardening

Allotment holders nationwide aregathering to safeguard their plotsin light of increasing worries thatallotment land may be sold off.

A recent survey conducted by the NationalAllotment Society found that 74% of itsmembers are worried that their allotmentland will be sold off and redeveloped inthe future, while the society itself receiveshundreds of calls a year from allotmentholders looking for advice on how best tosafeguard their plots.

Donna McDaid, national secretary forthe society, explains: “Unfortunately inthis day and age, it is too easy for landlordsto dispose of allotment land withoutrealising the huge benefits they provideto individuals, communities and theenvironment.

“Since the Localism Act has come intoforce, there is now an even greater need togalvanise the interest and support of localcommunities, especially as planners seeallotments as prime development land.”

Local allotment associations up and downthe country have hosted ‘Parties on the Plot’to help galvanise community support for the

allotment movement and in turn safeguardsites from the prospect of development.

More than 35 events took place throughoutthe week, ranging from barbecues and plantstalls to cream teas and children’s festivals.The week showcased the wider benefits ofallotment gardening to all.

There are an estimated 330,000 allotmentplots in the UK and nearly 100,000 peopleon the allotment waiting lists, according tothe society, with rents ranging from £5 to£120 a year.

The organisation is concerned that if thisland was developed, billions of insects andanimals would be wiped out, the risk offlooding in towns and cities would increaseand air pollution would intensify, not tomention the detrimental impact it wouldhave on people’s health and wellbeing.

Petersfield Town Council is responsible fortwo allotment sites, Sheet Allotments in MillLane, Sheet, that has 104 plots and TilmoreAllotments, in Tilmore Road, Petersfield, thathas 71 plots. Both of these sites appear on amap of the area dated 1919 but allotmentsdate back in this country to Circa 100BC.

The provision of allotments by localauthorities is an important part of offeringrecreational facilities to parishioners.Allotments can provide many things todifferent people including an opportunityfor flat dwellers to have a garden or peoplewith gardens to extend their growingpossibilities.

There are usually plots available at eitherof the sites although, at the moment, theyhave a waiting list for both sites. Informationcan be obtained by enquiring at the counciloffices on 01730 264182 or by email to FionaMort at [email protected]

A lot of funSaving our allotments

To find the right site for you:• Make sure it’s close to home. You will not

want to catch a bus carrying tools or get in acar after a long, hard day at work to get there.

• Choose a site which has fences, hedges andlocked gates at night to deter vandals.

• Check water arrangements. Councils shouldsupply mains water at a convenient distancefor plot holders. A mains water supply in theform of tanks and standpipes is essential.

• Check out the land, examining the plotwhich is offered to you. Work out if you haveplenty of sun or if the plot is going to be inshadow, which isn’t good for a lot ofvegetables. Large trees may cast shade andsap the soil of nutrients.

• Study the neighbours’ plots. If they areneglected and dominated by tough, perennialweeds such as ground elder, you may befacing a losing battle.

• It’s important to feel comfortable there. Somesites have a clubhouse for meetings or atrading shed where you can buy gardeninggoods at more or less trade prices. Otherswill have tools or machinery for the use ofmembers.
