Summer may be over but thanks to this report by Rob we can experience it again …
The West End Allotment Association – the site’s just the other side of the A34 – held its second summer barbecue on 7th September. On a bright and breezy afternoon over 40 members, relatives and friends enjoyed delicious food, local beer and soft drinks, and the chance to meet & chat to other allotment-holders.
Derrick and Margaret, both professional chefs, treated us to delicious food – pork, sausages, burgers and much more …
Roy shows his appreciation of Jane’s courgette cake.
One of the highlights of the afternoon was the chance to don a bee-suit and visit Ed’s bee-hive, recently installed on one side of the site and producing a great honey harvest this year. It was only the children who volunteered!
A great event thanks to Derek and Margaret especially. We could do with more members at West End though!
My friend would like to become a member but gave up trying after ringing and leaving messages on the number found on the town council website. Is there any other way of joining this secret society of green fingered fellowship?
