WHAT'S IN HERE?

This section contains copies of key documents as well as general articles which should be of interest to casual browsers as well as WBDRA members & supporters.

DECEMBER 2011 UPDATE

We've updated the Library with copies of key correspondence items related to the Allotment Site Campaign as well as an assortment of allotment related articles gathered from the National & Local Press - some serious,  some lighthearted. We hope you will find something of interest even if it's only about Sheds or Giant Pumpkins!

Reading documents

A lot of pdf files appear sideways on when opened. Most computer toolbars have "Rotate" functions, so click on this when the pdf document is opened, and the document will turn round. As these are all "read-only" documents, you cannot make any changes to them and when you've finished reading or printing it , the document will return to how it was before you started when you exit.   

Some .pdf files may take a bit of persevering with as there are so many variants of Acrobat Reader around. Keep at it - you'll get there.

Any Word, Excel or .ppt documents in here have been written under Windows XP or Vista - so if you have an older version of Windows, you may experience formatting problems, but at least it will be legible!

If you want to access a document and have real problems, go to our "Contact Us" page and get in touch.
