<h2 id="information-and-advice">Information and advice</h2>

<h3 id="membership">Membership</h3>

<p>To join the Society and have your name added to the waiting list you must be a

resident of the London Borough of Hackney. When you reach to top of the ’waiting list’ you will receive an

offer letter when a vacant plot becomes available and be invited to visit it prior to acceptance.</p>

<p>As a member, whether a plotholder or not, you will receive regular newsletters, and may attend and vote

at the AGM and participate in the running of the Society.</p>

<h3 id="fees-and-rents">Fees and rents</h3>

<p>Fee and rent levels are considered at the Society’s AGM each October. For 2024/25

membership of the Society is ₤4 per annum and plot rent is ₤31.00 per annum for a full plot

(₤15.50 concessions) and ₤15.50 per annum for a half plot (₤7.75 concessions).

The membership fee is payable in addition to plot rents.</p>

<p>Fees and rents are renewable on 1st October each year.</p>

<h3 id="tenancy-requirements">Tenancy requirements</h3>

<p>An allotment tenancy is considered a privilege and the Society expects plots to be

properly cultivated. This is particularly pertinent given the closure of the waiting list since 2008.</p>

<p>There may be circumstances under which a plotholder is unable to cultivate his/her plot

due to illness, disability, short-term work abroad, etc. In these cases,

the plotholder must inform his/her site representative of their absence from the allotment,

give the reason for this absence, a time when they expect to return and arrangements for caretaking

if away for less than a year.

If away for more than a year, the plotholder will have to give up the plot but on return will go to

the top of waiting list provided the plot was left in good order.</p>

<h3 id="site-representatives">Site representatives</h3>

<p>Site representatives play a crucial role in the running of the Society. They try to ensure that

plots are properly cultivated, their site is kept in good safe order, important matters are

communicated to the committee, their existing plotholders kept informed of Society business and new

plotholders welcomed. <a href="checklist.html">A useful checklist</a> of duties has been prepared for site representives

and they should also be familiar with the <a href="neglected.html">neglected plots policy</a> and the <a href="bylaws.html">Society’s

bylaws</a>.</p>

<h3 id="committee-members">Committee members</h3>

<p>The committee, made up of the officers (chair, vice-chair, secretary, treasurer) and site representatives,

meets monthly to discuss Society business. The officers are elected at an AGM

and hold office until the end of the next AGM when they retire but are eligible for re-election.

As well as the neglected plots policy and bylaws the committee members should also be familiar with

the <a href="constitution.html">Society’s constitution</a>.</p>

<p>The officers are also the Society’s trustees.</p>

<h3 id="society-documents">Society documents</h3>

<p>The Society maintains a <a href="document.html">comprehensive archive</a> of material including AGM minutes and

newsletters from 2004 together with a <a href="constitution.html">copy of the constitution</a>,

<a href="bylaws.html">current bylaws</a>, <a href="privacy.html">privacy policy</a> and other items.</p>
