FAQs

How are allotments measured?

An allotment is traditionally measured in rods (perches or poles), an old measurement dating back to Anglo-Saxon times. A rod is 16.5ft (5.029 metres). 10 rods is a typical size of an allotment which is the equivalent of 250 square metres, or about the size of a doubles tennis court.

Is there a discount for senior citizens?

There is a £1 discount off of the joining fee and annual membership fee for senior citizens.

When is payment due?

Invoices are sent out in June each year for payment by 1st July. New plot-holders who obtain a plot within the first six months of the rental year (July – December) will pay the full amount, half the amount if joining between January and April, and from May to June the full amount will be charged and the rental year will be extended to 13/14 months respectively.
