We’ve had a lot of questions asked about this by fellow plotholders so we thought it best to set out the answers to everything (apart from a foolproof way to get rid of slugs and snails) in one post.
Timing: From 2 pm till 5 pm
Location: The grassy open space at the furthest end of the plot from the gates.
What will be provided: We will have up to three barbecues going; Sauces and condiments will be provided and we should have a store of paper plates and plastic glasses, plastic cutlery etc.
What should I bring?: Food to cook and salads, rolls etc; Drinks and coolers; something to sit on.
What about the kids?: Children are welcome but do remember they are your responsibility when on the site.
Is there anything else the organisers need?: If anyone has a folding decorator’s table it would be very useful for storage and serving. And if you would like to bring some food for sharing it would be appreciated. Contact any of the ALP committee (Murray, John King, Jane, Phil) to let us know what you can bring.
What happens if it rains?: We will make a final decision on the morning of Saturday 23rd July and if there is a high probability that there will be rain throughout Sunday we will cancel then and notify people by posting on this forum and also on the notice board by the front gates.
You said something about competitions and prizes?: Yes, we did and we have decided that as not everyone has vegetables ready for display at this time we will hold a raffle, all proceeds going to St Catherine’s Hospice. Tickets will be 50p each or £2 for a strip of 5 and the prizes are
