FYI
IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED, PLEASE CONTACT CELIA SMITH DIRECTLY. SHE NEEDS AN
ANSWER RIGHT AWAY. Since Sleaford is allocated 3 bags, the first 3
beekeepers to get back to HER would seem most fair. Note the courtesy jar
of honey suggested below. It will be up to you to handle that. Please don't
email me to send to her -thanks.

Subject: sugar
Dear District Secretary
An anonymous donor has contacted Alan Campion and offered LBKA several 25kg
bags of surplus sugar. The donor wishes to remain anonymous and to ensure
this Alan and I have decided how to allocate it and cleared this plan with
the donor.
The sugar has been stored for more than 2 years. It was purchased for making
products for human consumption but the packs have deteriorated in storage so
it comes with no guarantee of purity; the sugar is donated for feeding bees
only. Some of the bags have absorbed moisture and some have suffered some
damage from mice.
Each District is being offered an allocation depending on the number of full
members in the District. Your District has been allocated 3 bags and you can
make your own decisions about the disposal of the donated sugar.
The donor has requested that any beekeeper accepting the sugar might
consider making a small contribution to a beekeeping charity. It would also
be nice if the Districts accepting an allocation of sugar might consider
sending a jar of local honey to me for forwarding to the anonymous donor.
The collecting point is my house in Nettleton but if anyone going to help at
the Taster at Rand on Saturday 4th August would like me to take it there I
can do so.
I really can't hold it indefinitely so any allocation not collected by 22nd
August will be returned to the pool for reallocation.
Please let me know if you wish to accept this offer and how/ when you can
collect.
Kind Regards
Celia
Celia Smith, Association Secretary, Lincolnshire Beekeepers' Association
