Allotment Competition

The Melbourne Park Allotment Association annual competition was judged on 11th July, and as broadcast previously we were privileged to have the keen eye of a Royal Horticultural Society judge cast his viewpoint over the site. Clive Emberson has judged for us before, and uses the approved method prescribed by the RHS when taking into consideration the result. These elements consist of cultivation and neatness, quantity and variety of produce, fruit varieties and composting on plot.

Clive was accompanied by our very own Steve Withers and our very grateful thanks go to both for sparing their valuable time.

The result for newcomers, this is plot holders who have had a plot for less than 18 months

1st place Paul Sullivan 5A



2nd place Foggy Hau and the Marconi Belles 51b



3rd place Alex Horne 79



The result for more established plot holders, those with plots beyond 18 months

1st Place Project 63



2nd Place Pat Tilley 124R


and tied in 3rd place Josie Rawling and Chris Perrin 31L





Congratulations to all. Certificates and Trophies will be presented at this years Annual General Meeting, directly after the order of business on October 5th, commencing 10.30 am at the Trading Hut. It would be great if there was a bumper turn out for this event.
