Autumn Show 2021

Our first since the pandemic started

Our Autumn Show on Sunday, 13th September – our first since the pandemic started – was attended by a good crowd of members, and the mood was definitely jolly, thanks to Louise’s idea of vintage dressing and veg-themed head-dresses.

There was a good display of our fruit and veg on show, too, ably judged by Eric Wells and Roger Storr. They continued in our “Joe Maiden” tradition and explained how they made their decisions as they went around the classes. Many thanks to them for coming to judge for us after spending a busy morning at the Bramhope Show!

Leeds Allotment Rent Rise?

This article appeared in the Yorkshire Evening Post on 14 Dec 2012. It is the first inkling of such a proposal I have heard of for Leeds, and at £160 per year, the highest allotment rent I have heard of anywhere in the country.
