New Sign at Hobart Close Entrance
04th March 2022
In: General News
Plot holders who enter the site from the Hobart Close gate, cannot fail to have noticed a new Welcome sign just inside the entrance. The sign also has a statement on it recognising Arthur and Ada Cornell's astonishing 70 year association with the site, as a plot holder, committee member, for many years manning the trading hut no matter the weather, and latterly as Honorary President of the Members Association.
Arthur and Ada took their first plot on the newly marked out site in 1947 straight after he demobilised, competed at the local vegetable and flower shows, and testament to their success is the number of times their names appear on trophies the Association now retain.
The sign was funded by Arthur Cornell who wanted to leave a lasting statement in terms of both their activity at the Allotments, and we are grateful to the council for expediting the wishes and erecting close to the front entrance.
