We are improving our membership and payment system
The Ipswich Allotment Society website has been temporarily placed into maintenance mode due to an issue affecting online membership payments. Our payment provider, Stripe, has temporarily paused payment processing while the Society completes its formal registration as a co-operative. This is a standard compliance requirement, and payments will resume once the registration is confirmed. We have already submitted our application to the Financial Conduct Authority and, if required, can provide supporting documentation to the payment provider to facilitate resolution.
This has been done to prevent confusion and to avoid any incorrect or duplicate payments while the issue is being resolved.
In the meantime, membership payments can still be made via your Field Secretary (cash or cheque), and in some cases by bank transfer where local arrangements are in place.
Please note that the deadline for IAS membership and renewals is in June, so there is sufficient time for all members to complete payment once the issue is resolved.
Existing members remain covered, and normal Society activities continue as usual.
We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while we resolve this issue.
For allotment applications and waiting list information, please visit the
Ipswich Borough Council allotments page.
