Following on from the Prime Minister’s announcement on Monday (4 January 2021), we would like to remind our members of the following guidelines to keep everyone safe during this national lockdown:
On Monday, the government announced that as of Wednesday 13 May, garden centres would be permitted to open. To keep our members as safe as possible, we have decided to operate a click and collect service. Once you have made an order, you will be given an allocated time slot to collect your items from the shop between 10am-12pm on Sundays. Note you need to be a BALGA member to take advantage of the service.
If you would like to purchase items, please follow this process:

To keep everyone safe, please observe a social distance. If your potatoes have been affected by the frost and you wish to purchase more then we have some varieties available. Click here to see the available potatoes and onion sets.
As members will be aware we trialled a delivery service in April after having to close the members’ shop as a result of government advice during the coronavirus pandemic. We are very pleased with how successful it has been. Over the last two weeks, we have had more than 60 orders worth over £1300! This astounding amount of money will benefit our association.
Members who took advantage of the delivery service were very appreciative because they were finding it difficult to source particular items at the start of this year’s growing season. We would like to thank all of the members who made an order and supported us and complied with social distancing guidance.
It’s not too late to order items from the BALGA members’ shop, but you need to be a member. Click here to read how to place an order. Please note we have sold out of the following items:
We would like to thank Stewart (Trading Secretary) for processing and delivering all the items and Janet (Treasurer) for managing the payments.
If you have any feedback or comments about the delivery service, please email tradesec@balga-online.co.uk.
Following on from the Prime Minister’s announcement on 23 March and continued government advice, the members’ shop has been temporarily closed. However as there have been several requests from members about how they may obtain items from the shop while it is closed during the current lockdown, we are now offering a delivery service to members. Note you need to be a BALGA member to take advantage of the service.
If you’re a member and would like to purchase items, please follow this process:
Deliveries can only be made to addresses in Baldock. For members living outside Baldock, arrangements should be made with Stewart (the Trading Secretary) for convenient delivery to the member’s allotment plot or to one of our allotment site gates for Associate Members (non plot holders).
We may need to visit the allotment for our physical health and well being. However, it is important to adhere to the following guidelines to keep everyone safe: Continue reading “Further advice on COVID-19”
Following on from the Prime Minister’s announcement on Monday and continued government advice, the Members’ Shop will be temporarily closed from this Sunday (29 March) until further notice. We did consider offering a delivery service, but we are unable to do this for now.
We will continue to keep you updated on this matter. Continue reading “Temporary BALGA Shop closure”
