Hope this isn't cheating but below is a copy of what I've already posted as a reply to another thread on asbestos.


I've just taken on the job of association secretary - since last Monday.  (Our allotment site is self-managed, leased from the council.)  Today a fairly irate member asked me to have a look at some asbestos.  Basically a lot of corrugated asbestos concrete sheets - I didn't stay to count, but looked at least 10 - had been broken up and left at the bottom of the garden of an unoccupied house, right against the allotment site boundary.  Our irate member thinks this was done by another of our association members - someone who has amassed a huge amount of recycled materials on his plot.  I think irate member is right - but we've no proof.

I've had a plot for two years.  I took on the secretary role on the condition that we also had a committee.  The committee meets - coincidently - for the first time tomorrow evening.  When I got my plot I didn't receive or sign a tenancy agreement - I don't know of anyone else who's received one. 

Any words of advice from anyone who reads this before 4pm tomorrow (5th April) would be hugely appreciated!

In anticipation.
Joan

PS

I'm conscious that I'm only using the forum when I need help - and its been fantastic - so I'll really, really try to contribute a bit more.  I've had my allotment for 2 years now and absolutely love it - my husband complains of being an allotment widower - so although I'm not very experienced, I am a bit more confident.  Know I'll always be learning, but ready to pass on what bits of knowledge/experience I've managed to glean - for what they're worth!
