Chairman & Membership Secretary Dennis Bradley

Dennis has been a member of Binswood Allotments for more than 14 years, acting as Membership Secretary and Chair for the past 11 years. Dennis will be standing down from the Committee at the 2012 AGM.

Secretary - Christine Schweighart 

Christine took on her allotment seven years ago as a respite from her busy life. She joined the Committee as Secretary in 2009.

Treasurer - Martin Hurst

Martin is a familiar face at the allotments, having tended his plot for more than 12 years. He took over as Treasurer from John Shuttleworth in 2010 and with 45 years experience of running various companies, working with financial directors; Martin had a basic grasp of what was required.

He said: “It has been a pleasure to take on the role; I really have been thankful of the support that I have received from all the other committee members and of Tony Parsons our auditor.

The changes that Martin has instigated are mainly involved in keeping up with modern technology - computerised Accounts (and regularly backed up on memory stick), members details on a database. He is also looking into making the members yearly payments easier through internet banking, direct debits or Standing orders… details to all members when set up.

Martin has also taken over as our representative on BLAST (Bringing Leamington’s Allotment Societies Together) which has been set up to act as a local co-coordinating body to fight any development of any of the allotments in our area.

His favourite produce to grow: tomatoes

Her favourite produce to grow: raspberries.

Peter Griffin

Peter is a familiar face at the allotments and spends a lot of his time doing many essential jobs including locking the gates, hiring out equipment and general maintenance.
