So far I have tapped up the Parish Council and am in the process of

for a lottery grant.

You'd have to produce a pretty revolutionary plan to qualify for a
lottery grant.

Yes, says she bitterly who spent a deal of time a few weeks ago
putting in an application, and being turned down. That was not to do
with gardening however, but I feel quite bitter about their reasons
for turniing us down.

It has to be (more-or-less, tending towards more) the sort of thing they
can trumpet all over the local press for weeks, and make a big splash in
the nationals - well, that's the impression I get. Also (I may be wrong
here) I think it has to benefit pretty nearly the whole community should
they wish to avail themselves of it, and I fear that the mere
continuation of allotments, even if improvements are contemplated,
haven't a wide enough remit.

The trouble is, I can't think of any organisation/body which would
benefit by helping allotmenteers, so it's difficult to know where to
start looking. However, I will ask an allotmenteer who doesn't take urg
and see if she has any suggestions.
