The community

As an association we have an active group of committee members working together with plot holders to maintain and generally improve our site.  The size of new plots has been reduced, giving more people from our waiting list the opportunity to become ‘allotmenteers’.

We hold a coffee morning once a fortnight weather permitting.  It is held in the marquee  located in the centre of the site and all members and their visitors/family are welcome.

The coffee morning is from 10am to 12 noon and tea, coffee and cake are available.  It is an opportunity to meet members of the committee and other plot holders.  To exchange tips and information from other members of the community who have held allotments on the site for many years.

Brook Road Site along with three others in Bournemouth, form the Bournemouth Federation of Allotments.  Each year there is a competition for the Best Allotment and also the Best Plot.  We are lucky enough to say that we won Best Allotment 2 years running in 2014 and 2015, and one of our plot holders has won Best Plot for 2016 and 2017.  Unfortunately due to Covid the Allotment Competition came to a halt and although it has been restarted there has been no interest from members in wanting to take part in the future.
