Membership of TFAA is open to all those who agree with the objects of the association and live within the area of Greater Morpeth as stated in the Town Council lease agreement.
All those who work on the site must be members of the Association and pay the annual membership fee as determined by the association which:
- pays the yearly rent to the town council,
- covers the cost of the allotment membership of the National Society of Allotment holders and Leisure Gardeners (NSALG).
- provides indemnity insurance for the association.
- helps to afford tools for member use
- allows for maintenance of the allotment field and committee administration of this self-managing site.
A waiting list for plots is in operation and potential new members will be placed upon the list in order of date of application. The list is available for inspection from the secretary. As vacant plots arise applicants will be contacted and offered the available plot. If it is not suitable for the applicant’s needs they will remain in the same position on the list until an appropriate plot for their needs is available.
Two Gardeners may be named as members of the association for each plot.
- Name, Telephone, Email and Full Address for applicant one
- Name, Telephone and Email for application two if applicable
- Previous gardening experience
- We ask for this information because experience has taught us that many new applicants under-estimate the work required to maintain an allotment
- Size of plot required – Half or Quarter
- Any other information
- We recognise that there may be barriers to inclusion for people with disabilities, and in accordance with our disability access plan will work to minimize these barriers
