🍎 Fingers crossed for good weather. This is an opportunity for everyone gather together, see the entries and have a great time catching up with our allotment neighbours. There will be savoury snacks and Buck’s Fizz available, as well as other refreshments.
In spite of the double challenge of Covid and the coldest April this century, the RGS will hold a Summer Show by the store on Site 2 on Sunday 13th June. Many allotmenteers may not have entered the show previously, so the ‘preparing exhibits’ section below may help. Find the forms you need on this page. Even if you don’t enter we hope to see you there from 3pm. The auction of produce will start at 4pm.
There will be a Plants and Produce stall and Tea and Cakes to enjoy. If you have some spare plants/seedlings or produce, or could make a few cakes (in paper cases, like muffins, please) please bring them to the store between 10am and 1pm on the day. Please do wear a mask, and bring cash for the tea and cakes stall.
Entries and Staging 11.30-13.30 – Judging 14.00- 15:00 – Open to All 15:00
