who are we?
We’re a passionate group of volunteers from both the Asheridge Road and Cameron Road sites, here to ensure that your allotment experience is the best it can be.
Our team is made up of people from all walks of life—some of us work full-time, others part-time, and some are retired.
No matter our backgrounds, we come together with a shared goal: to manage and improve the allotments for the benefit of all tenants.

Meetings and Minutes
Regular meetings are a vital communication and operations tool. Chesham Allotments Group committee meets six times a year to discuss projects and issues related to the allotment sites.
Prior to each meeting the Chair circulates an agenda via email to the committee members. Our meetings follow a standard, formal format and are directed by the Chair. Minutes are taken during the meeting by the Secretary, checked by the Chair and then circulated to all CAG representatives for approval. If necessary, corrections are made and the approved minutes of the meeting are then sent to the Town Council for archiving and are available for viewing on the CAG website.
Our Annual General Meeting
Chesham Allotments Group enjoys a collaborative relationship with Chesham Town Council and the Annual General Meeting (AGM) takes place in September at the Town Hall.
During the AGM:
- the Chair of CAG gives a review of the year
- the Treasurer gives a report on the financial status and expenditure of the group
- representatives and officers are elected or re-elected for the coming year

The AGM is open to all allotment holders to attend. The date is published on this website and in The Grower.
