If you are interested in applying for an allotment please contact the Secretary at wingerworthallotment@outlook.com 

To qualify you must live within the Electoral Parish of Wingerworth.

We can arrange for you to come and look around and see which plots are available.

When a plot becomes available, the proposed new plot holder(s)/Associate Member will meet with a member of the management committee .
Once agreed, a vacant plot is allocated to the individual/s who should complete a registration form to join the Society, payment of the Society's membership subscription and share fee, the payment of plot rental fee and a one off bond fee. It is a requirement to be a fully paid up member of the Society to rent a plot.

Each application will be processed in chronological order of written receipt according to their initial request.

Should the individual decline the plot then they shall be moved to the bottom of the waiting list. In this event the plot will be offered in to the applicant or existing member on the waiting list and the same process will apply.
