Like a lot of sites, we've got a waiting list. For the last two years or so, I've been dealing with this by splitting 10 or 15 pole plots as they become vacant and only letting out 5 pole plots to new members. For the majority, that's enough, and as a result the whole site is beginning to look cultivated. But some, obviously, "grow out of" that space and want more land. Existing policy - before there was a waiting list - was that if a plot became vacant, the plot-holders around had first refusal; in the case of those with 5 poles, I've continued this policy. But now I've had requests from plot-holders who already have 10 poles and want another 5. What do the rest of you do about existing members taking on extra land? At least they're a known quantity, whereas a new member is simply a name on a piece of card; some have been brilliant, but some a waste of space. But new members keep the place growing and flourishing. We have made a decision, but I'm just interested in putting it into context and finding out what happens on other sites.
How about someone who had five plots and did not do any properly!Seen that and the ones with two plots and they cannot even do one properly, Its just greed as far as I am concerned.[/Someone on our site was given 6 plots all in one go. They came down one Sunday, dug about a 3foot square area, let their 2 teenage girls run all over other people's plots with their constantly barking dog and we never saw them again.When our rents were due to be paid he was contacted and told if he still wanted a plot it would be just the one but he wasn't happy with that. Now he has none and again haven't heard from him since March.We have 3 plots but they are all cultivated and mostly planted (just waiting another couple of weeks to put all the tender stuff out). We always get comments on our plots and it makes us very proud of ourselves.Julie :)
