Welcome aboard Good7Saint... will have to come up with something more catching... the advantage of strating your own is you will get more responses. Whereabouts are you and have you got any Pics as we are all very nosey!

Well I have got on one waiting list with some more numbers to call when I get home from work.
The waiting list I have got on has 4 people in front of me, is that good or bad ?

Hiya, Welcome... from another relatively new person ;D

If it's only four people, think that sounds great, I have heard many sites have over twenty + people on their waiting lists!

Title: Re: Newbie saying Hi
Post by: good7saint on April 28, 2008, 15:41:43
Yeah that's what the secretary told me on the phone.
Only 4 people on the waiting list

That means you have to wait for five people to either give up their plot or drop down dead before you get one.

If the site is full of 30 year old new age yuppies it's bad news. If it's full of 90 year old geriatrics then I'd get your wellies out and dust off your dibber just in case.

;D

Good news.
Just spoken to a secretary from another allotment site who has told me they have a lot of plots available with no waiting list.
Now the bad news, they are all in a bad state and need clearing.
But one thing I am not worried about is a bit of hard work, so going to look at what is available tomorrow

Yes, keep us posted.
