Allotment News
Welcome to all our new allotmenteers
We have a number of new plot holders this season. We wish you all the best in your new venture and the very best of enjoyment in transforming your allotments into a place of peaceful tranquility, relaxation and plentiful fresh produce.
2024 - Administration Changes
Our long-term organiser, George Barton, has stepped down after many years of service to Thistly Cross Allotments. We thank him for the valuable service he has given to all of us and wish him and his family well for the future.
In April 2024, an administration committee formally took over the management of our allotments. The volunteers will look after the running of the Thistly Cross project on behalf of the private owner.
The Administration Committee:
Douglas Burns - Chairperson, Plot 25
Colum Giles - Secretary, Plot 9
Fiona Lacey - Membership Secretary, Plot 22
Colin Glass - Treasurer, Plot 11
Joanne Bullock - Facebook Administrator, Plot 25
Rudi Fruzynski - Website Manager, Plot 42

This year is our 15th birthday of being at Thistly Cross.

Sharing Things
If you have any unwanted garden tools, benches, plants or materials that we gardeners could use, please leave them by the allotment gate with a note for the items to be put to good use.
Avian Flu Alert!
Avian Flu is on the increase in Scotland again. A number of wild bird deaths have been found in Dunbar in July 2023.
The body responsible for enforcement of the Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ) poultry housing measures is your local authority, and they should be the recipients of any reports of non-compliance with any restrictions in force. As such, Avian influenza controls, including the Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ), are enforced by Trading Standards or Environmental Health Service of a local authority.
Within East Lothian reports of non-compliance should be reported to [email protected]
