Celebrating Success

The successful plot holders of the Annual Allotment competition, together with the winners of the 'fun' Sunflower growing competition were congratulated at the Trading Hut on Saturday 6th August. Clive Emberson, a RHS judge cast his eye over the plots this year and awarded based on a combination of appearance, range and variety of vegetables and fruit being grown to reach his decisions.

The images under show Peter Hunnable, overall winner of the best plot 2016, plus second place Josie Rawling and third overall Paul Willsone. with Organiser Steve Withers, and Chairman Karen Lawrence.








Greg and Claire Saunders were judged best newcomer plot (for those that have been on site for less than 18 months)

Following the success of last years fun pumpkin growing competition, the Association held a Sunflower competition, and managed to secure the expert officiating services of Mr Dave Ling to measure and determine the winning plants based on either height or the size of the head. Tons Holbrook produced the tallest specimen, with Pat Tilley the sunflower with the widest head. Unfortunately Pat was not able to make the presentation and his daughter Karen O' Meara ably stood in to collect the certificate.





Thank you to everyone who took part, and to Steve Withers for organising the competition. Just a reminder, the trophies will be engraved and formally presented at the Annual Christmas Mulled Wine even, December 3rd at the Trading Hut.

Saturday 6th August.
