What is the best idea you have heard at your allotment site's AGM?

We have our site's Annual General Meeting next Sunday.  Our AGM is usually on Mother's Day (I kid you not) which says a lot about our current committee.

I'm to be proposed for membership of the committee.
I thought it would be useful to get some feedback from other more experienced allotmenteers regarding your experiences of the AGM forum.

What is driving you nuts?  What nonsense still exist?  What was a really smart idea? Any anecdotes and ideas will be gratefully received.

I have a couple of simple ones: 

The committee decide when the water will be turned on and off for the year.  But they never tell any one.  How difficult is that?

The committee spend money on  second hand lawn mowers but will not pay a chap £50 to vist each spring to service them.

Don't hold the AGM at 2pm on Mother's Day!

Your turn...

A good idea from ours was a seed swap arrangement.
One afternoon during planting season, get together at the plots or in the pub and swap what you have too much of for something you fancy

what came up on ours was the suggestion that everyone puts in a half day to look after the general site areas.

We are only a small site so we all know who does what and it doesn't need organising.

Also we have an interim meeting as well as the AGM so that things don't get bottled up and cause a major issue.

what I wanted to hear was that the committee was prepared to spend a little money on communication.
 Too many decisions are made and not passed on to all members - a circle of cronies seem to know and it very gradually gets passed on. See above comment about water being turned off someone else has same problem

How about a notice board near the entrance?
