The Allotment Soc.'s Summer Fete 2010
A great day with even more entertainment than last year, a credit to Sue, Simon and all the other volunteers who helped make the day such a success. In addition to the Face Painting, Veg. & Plants, and Book stalls pictured below there was the 'Higher Lower Card' game, 'Pick a Nail' game stalls and a Cake Stall with a selection Sainsbury's couldn't match..
Overall the Allotment Society made £881.28 profit, another record!

Summer Fete 2009
Mediterranean temperatures and only a puff of white cloud against a deep blue sky, a good time was had by all. Our thanks to Sue Thomlinson, the rest of the Allotment Soc Committee and other helpers. The Society president Ben Chapman M.P. attended as usual, but unlike last year he didn't have to suffer three hours of steady rain!
