I've just had a look at your website - well done! 

You ask for suggestions....

Perhaps more photos would be good.  I always take my camera with me when I go over to ours.  If I take photos of plotholders I always ask permission before I put them on the website.  (almost everyone agrees)
On your 'About Us' page  maybe you could put some 'before' and 'after' photos of the work you have done.

On your Home Page I think it would be more interesting to read about Recreation Street Allotments rather than the history of allotments in general. 

You are using the same site builder that I use for ours.  Have you thought about using a photo of your own allotment site at the top of the pages, rather than the leaves?  If you want to see what I mean, look at www.growit.ik.com   

I am by no means an expert (obviously!) but I think that the more links you have to other sites and the more sites that link to yours will put you higher up the search engines.  I will add a link to your site on mine and maybe you could do the same with ours.

The site looks like a great asset to your association, and I envy all the activities you've got planned for next year.

I would suggest getting someone to spell check the entire site for you though, there are numerous spelling mistakes such as amblance, comunity, poly tunle, muinets and so on.
