December Update
Onion sets and shallots will be in the Stores just after Christmas and it would help if members could decide as soon as possible what their requirements will be., You will be able to order them in any of the Stores from now onwards and the price will be £1.10 per lb. Cash with order, please. I have to order from the suppliers in October so place your order soon to avoid disappointment. Onion sets with be Sturon and Red Baron, while shallots will be Yellow Moon.
Many of you missed out on garlic, so I will be taking orders with the onion order, but that order must be in by 13th December. £1.20 each and cash with order, please. Collection will be early January.
Your seed potato order should be available by the end of January, so do please collect them as soon as possible after that. If you still haven't placed your order yet, do it now - the form was in October Plotholder.
I have just heard that the Humex multi compost that everyone has taken a liking to, has had a price increase (so what's new?) so once existing stock is sold the new price will apply. The size has changed back to 75 lts from 60 lts. Don't moan at the Store Keeper, he has to pay it as well. The new price to be advised.
Chesswood Store is closed for SUNDAY trading from 1st November until the end of January. Humber and Tarring are not affected.

Apprentice needed
For many years Peter Everett has been greeting you, taking your orders and fulfilling your requirements at the Humber stores. He is also in overall charge of the stock in all our stores and does all the ordering and associated book keeping. But Pete feels it is time to train up someone new to take over from him when the time comes. If you can help and fancy a go - which would involve shadowing Pete for a little while - please get in touch. In fact get in touch if you would like to help in any way at all - joining the committee, helping at events, producing publicity materials, - just let us know. (05/11/08)
