Childrens Competition Cancelled
Stanley Road Allotment and Garden Society are sad to announce the cancellation of the Children's Competition for 2010.
This is due to only have 2 entrants for this year (who of course are entitled to their entry fees back) compared to over 25 last year.
This is a great shame, not only for the 2 children that did enter, but for the work (voluntary) that members of the committee and other plot holders puts into setting up this competition e.g. preparing/designing posters, printing, laminating, putting them up, entry forms, sourcing trophies & fundraising to support all of these purchases.
Lets hope that there is more interested children for our 2011 competition.

Sutton In Bloom 2010
Ali Campbell from plot 144 entered her allotment in the Sutton in Bloom 2010 competition.
This was her first ever entry & she is pleased to announce that she came 4th out of 15 so very well done for a first entry Ali!
The Judges comments were ‘a terrific effort. Good use of all the space. Very well done. Good composting’.

Fun in the sun, harvesting & BBQ 4th July 2010
With the temperatures soaring today, only a few braved the allotments.
However some did find a novel way to cool down - hitch a ride in dad's wheelbarrow!
Nikki also had a good morning harvesting her delicious strawberries! Yummy

12noon until 2pm
Please RSVP to Nigel so he can cater for all that want to attend

BARBEQUE
Sunday - 4th July, 2010 - Noon until 2pm
On Sunday 4th July our friends from the Roundshaw Allotments will be retuning a visit we made to them last year at which we will be having a Barbeque to which ALL our members and their friends are invited. Admission is free and refreshments will be at very reasonable prices.
This will be an ideal opportunity for gardeners, allotment and otherwise, to meet and swap tips, tell tall stories and generally boast about their prowess with the hoe and spade.
It is hoped that as many plot holders will be present to support the Committee and make the event a success.
· The Trading Hut will be open and members of the committee will be present to answer questions, to listen to suggestions and to receive offers of support.
Visitors will be welcome to inspect the site but it is requested that you keep to the main tracks and pathways.
· Children Your children and young people are welcome at our allotments where we hope they will learn to appreciate the joys of cultivation and the wonder of watching a tiny seed develop into a beautiful flower or something tasty to eat but PLEASE remember allotments are not playgrounds and can be dangerous places. Children are not allowed on the site unsupervised and when with you please make sure that they always stay on, or close to, your plot.
Final Reminder
BARBEQUE
Sunday 4th July, 2010
