Chaddesley Corbett Allotment Association.
There have been allotments in Chaddesley for years, many of you are familiar with them. We are pleased to say that we now have twenty nine plots let and most plot holders are part of the association which has been set up. The Allotments are buzzing with activity especially this time of year when we see our hard work pay off and we can start to harvest our own home grown produce, much better than pre packed supermarket food. Young and old tend plots on the site and work together to keep the allotments going and encourage people to have a go. Many of us are new to this but there are plenty of experienced growers who are only too happy to pass on their knowledge and experience. No one has found the instant solution to ridding the ground of weeds though. We welcome visitors and are happy to chat to people passing through. We are asking ALL dog walkers to comply with the council signs at the entrance to the site and keep dogs on a lead as well as keeping to the public footpath. If you are thinking about having an allotment but are a bit unsure please come and chat to us none of us are experts and we have all had to start from scratch. Hopefully you will see our efforts pay off later in the year when we will be harvesting our fruit and vegetables.

On Sunday 7th September over 80 people signed-up, paid their money and took part in the first ever Chaddesley Challenge Sports Club 5k Fun Run/Walk. Winterfold Kiwi Gap Year Student, Dion Fitzgerald, was the first one over the finish line with a fantastic run over 21/4 laps of the Pointto-Point course despite the boggy and flooded parts of the course. He completed the 5k (3.1 miles) in about 18 minutes.
With entry fees and sponsorship we have taken in excess of £2200 gross. The final figure is as yet unclear as we are waiting for further sponsorship money to come in. After expenses we expect to have raised something in the region of £1500 net. This will be split between the Sports Club and County Air Ambulance. Final figures will be advised in due course.
Equally as important though when you include all of the spectators and kids that turned up well over 100 people had a really good afternoon out. Nobody complained despite the appalling conditions under foot. There were lots of people smiling and hanging around to have a beer and a burger and cheer the kids on over the assault course after the main run.
There are approximately 120 photo's on Facebook. Go to "I TOOK PART IN THE CHADDESLEY CHALLENGE 2008 or know someone that did!" Major thanks go to Marcus Wilson, Ant Dodge, Steve Taylor, Phil Page, Sean Tate, Lin Dodge, Beck Ellsmore, Ian Smith, Dave Yardley, Joss Ellsmore, Rob Bond, Nigel Evans, Andy Shaw and Jane & Peter Stead for the sheer amount of hard work both in the run up to event, on the day and over the course of the weekend in general. Sorry if I've forgotten anyone..! 
Also thanks to our main T Shirt Sponsors Mr Ed Dunn (Three Pears f ragrancemad.com) and Mr Barry Adams (A&H Construction). Without the fantastic support of the land owners and Mr Martin Tate this event would not have been possible. A big thank you for moving the live stock and clearing the gates and fences. Finally thanks to everyone who pledged general event sponsorship or turned up to either compete or just to be there supporting the 15 runners as without them we wouldn't have had such a successful event.

We will be back in 2009 (May) for a bigger & better event. If you would like to be involved as a entrant, sponsor or spectator please do not hesitate to contact me on 07817824123
