Falmouth and District Allotments and Gardens Society

We had our the usual Xmas coffee and cake sale which  was very well supported. This year we also had our own craft fair based in the new community hut on Site B. This was the excellent idea of Shirley Burley who organised the event. Apart from being great fun and getting everyone in the mood for Christmas, it was a good fund raiser. We hope to expand on this next year.  In the evening we had our annual Christmas Quiz which was its usual success. Many thanks to Arno and Tom Greenaway for organising the event.

This new venture took place in the new community shed. Eleven members took part and hopefully this will grow into a bigger event. Members who purchased tea and coffee on the day were invited to judge the exhibits using the RHS criteria. It didn’t take long for people to realise that size did not matter, but uniformity of ripening and lack of blemishes and uniformity, when more than one example was required, were the key criteria. Results:-  Cabbage – 1 st Trevor Westley Carrot – 1 st Shirley Burley Squash – 1 st Tony McGarr, 2 nd Doreen Robbins, 3 rd Jackie Wagland, Highly Commended Mandy McFarlane. Potato – 1 st - Tony McGarr Autumn Vase – 1 st Jackie Wagland, 2 nd Abbie Burley, 3 rd Kevin Gormley Junior Photo – 1 st Abbie Burley CC Geoffrey Evans (our President) – awarded the Best Exhibit prize of a garden voucher to Tony McGarr for his potatoes.
