| WHITEHILL WINS GRANT FUNDING!! |
Thanks to the efforts of the Chairman over the
last two months of 2007, the society has received
grants from the SMBC local area funds, greenspace
grant scheme and the National Lottery 'Awards for
All' scheme.
This is no mean feat given the amount of time and
effort it took and the paperwork involved as well
as the compilation / research into the content of
the actual submissions, in fact the total a
present stands at aproximately £7,700!!!
All these funds are to be put towards improving
the wildlife area and upgrading the
small 'classroom' building for the local schools
and community groups to use. All this over the
coming months of 2008.
This is an exciting time for the society and the
schemes will be photographed to record what goes
on and record progress throughout the project
duration.

| WHITEHILL WINS 'MOST IMPROVED SITE IN BOROUGH' AWARD |
The Society has proudly been awarded the accolade
of being voted 'Most improved in Borough' in the
2007 awards scheme run by the local council held
in conjunction with SMAGA (Stockport Metropolitan
Allotment Garden Association).
This is due to the efforts of the committee,
assisted by members of the allotment site
community (too many to mention individually) in
achieving projects such as improved drainage,
water supply roadways and facilities. The
development of the wildlife area with seating and
more ponds and many other things to numerous to
mention.
The overall appearance of the site has
dramatically improved over 2006- 2007 and this
must be working as there is a small but none-
the-less important waiting list for plots!
So on behalf of all the committee - a big THANKYOU.
John G.
Chairman
