Tribute to Peter Maynard


With deep sadness, we report the death of Peter Maynard, a long standing allotment holder here at Stanley Road Allotment, a keen member of the management committee and one of the mainstays of the Trading Hut.
His funeral on 15 January coincided with the erection of the new Trading Hut and was attended by members of the allotment committee. The Society provided a beautiful wreath to mark the occasion.
At the subsequent function at the Greyhound public house in Carshalton, John Bresman, the subscriptions secretary, who went to school at Stanley Park with Peter, shared a few anecdotes of their school days, much to the delight of the many guests.
We are very pleased that Gillian, ably supported by Derek, will continue to work Peter’s Plot, near the Trading Hut.
