Waiting List

Please contact Michael Walker (see above) if you wish to go on the waiting list.   (Residents of South Oxford only please).  We usually have about ten on the waiting list, so we cannot guarantee to find a plot quickly.  

However South Ward Allotments, which is nearby,  generally have no waiting list. Contact Pete Mulvany on 01865 735402 or Emma Tinker on 07769 697208.  Or go to their web site for further details - South Ward.
