## Objectives

Review Allotment Society site issues, agree practical maintenance tasks and confirm upcoming administration and event arrangements.

## Executive Summary

The committee worked through a set of operational site issues and agreed several practical follow-up tasks. Maintenance actions were assigned for the water butt, boundary fence and shed security. Administrative updates were also agreed for plot fees and waiting-list allocation, alongside planning for the annual show. The main risk left open is continued site-security exposure if break-ins persist.
