Police fund presentation.
I'm
pleased to report that, thanks to hard work by John Badger, the West
Midlands Police Authority has made an award to
Hill as a contribution towards
replacing the top fence. The photograph shows the presentation
ceremony. We shall shortly begin
the planning of the work.
It is our intention to replace the chain linking with steel palisade
fencing. If anyone has any experience
of this sort of thing or is
prepared to offer help please contact a committee member. More
important, do you know where we
can get the material at a good
price.

Bit of bad news. If you've had
a look at the BDAC site (click on the link above) you'll see that there
are some horrendous rent increases
ahead. The cost of plots will be as
follows:-
mini
plot
small(half) plot full plot
2010/11
£12
£22
£28
These prices are for people who pay
2011/12
£20
£30
£40
the full rent. Over 60's get it for half
2012/13
£30
£45
£60
price.
2013/14
£40
£50
£75
The early payment discount will be replaced
by a late payment penalty of £10
Wow!!! I knew our plots were cheap
but this is quite a shock. Have you though of downsizing your
plot?
Haydn has calculated, that people on the
club house side of the site, should be able to move from full plot to
small(half)
plot by giving up just the front quarter
of their plot. This would reduce the rent by about 25%. If you are
thinking of downsizing please contact Haydn.
That's all for now folks (where have I
heard that before?)
