The Good Allotment Survey

[Deb P]

69%.... 

I did it as well and scored exactly the same as you David!

[Robert_Brenchley]

73%. We could do better. Why no mention of taps, I wonder?

[taurus]

30%  but there is only 20 plots we do get wood chips ( this year 1st time thanks to new allotments officer)

[blackkitty2]

Our allotments got 28% (more than I thought) but I expected that due to the constant mismanagement, lack of progressive modern movements towards bettering the site, democracy for all and finally a total lack of community spirit.

'Tis a dream I have that one day we will see gatherings, seed swaps, BBQ's (supervised of course), strawberry and cream events and surplus produce sales to raise money for new padlocks or whatever we allotment owners demand as a collective (no, not the Borg in Star Trek:TNG) and finally live happily ever after with one another and the Supe. Peace and harmony would reign and we would sit around the camp fire (no tyres please) and talk of the 'old days when the evil one did rule over the subordinate masses'. Ok so it might sound a bit melodramatic but there ya' go ha, ha.

24%

And yet we have a good water supply, a skip service and a car park.

If we had a toilet, I am not sure I'd want to use it 

But very interesting to do the survey, thank you UW.

Our site's score is 78%
What about a category for

'good communication between the committee and plot holders eg newsletter, email messages, noticeboard, website

We don't have deliveries of fym but we do get, twice a year, three 10 ton trailer loads of well rotted compost from the parks department and also regular deliveries of wood chippings.

Big thank you to everyone who's commented.  I've released draft V0.2 now with many of your suggestions incorporated, so would I be asking a lot if I asked you to have another look at it?

I'm going to lock this thread now and start another for V0.2.  See you there.
