You really do not want your plot to end up like this!

Seriously though, there was a fire on the Site today and the fire brigade attended. A plot holder had started a small bonfire which, unfortunately, got out of hand. The flames suddenly spread across two adjacent plots. The two plots were vacant, so this time it was grass and brambles that were burnt. Fortunately, nobody was hurt.

Please take extra care with fire at this time of year. Bonfires are seldom necessary as so much can be composted or recycled. However, if you do have a bonfire then always have some buckets full of water handy and never ever leave a bonfire smouldering.

The fire brigade must always have access to the Site. Please make sure that the path end of your plot is trimmed back. You can bring your car on to the Site for deliveries but it is not intended to be a car park. Please never ever leave your car parked on the Site unattended, as it may block access.


Annual Show

The Annual Show and BBQ is a highlight of the CPAGA year. The 2015 Annual Show will be held on Saturday, 5 September 2015 between 1 pm and 3.30 pm. All are welcome.

Show schedules and entry forms will be available in the Shop and the post boxes at the entrance gates from 2 August 2015.

New friends were made and old acquaintances met at the first plot holders' summer picnic organised by CPAGA.

The sun had put his hat on, the fruit punch (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) flowed, music was in the air and a good time was had by all.

Thank you to all who participated and helped to make it such an enjoyable afternoon.

The Umbrellabirds:

The Umbrellabirds were in full song for the entertainment of the picnickers (song: Ruby - Dave Rawlings Machine cover).
