The meeting unanimously agreed to the setting up of an Association and officers were appointed to take the matter forward. The Chairman of Royston Allotment Association and Karen Kenny (Regional Rep from the Eastern Region of the National Association of Allotment and Leisure Gardeners) spoke and outlined the advantages and what was involved in the formation of an association.

It is hoped that these will not only make the area look tidier but will also help to make it more secure. One of the allotment holders who is interested in forming an allotment association organised a meeting at the Community Centre of the Village College in April. It is felt an association would be able to benefit from the support of The National Society of Allotment and Leisure Gardeners such as receiving advice on a variety of problems and obtaining help with applying for funding for allotment projects as well as being able to purchase reduced-price seeds.
