The Committee for 2020

Trevor is our Chairman (the boss) again for 2020. A role has done before, so the Committee are in capable hands. Trevor also manages all the growing for the plant sale, helps Joyce with the orders for the shop and manages the infrastructure for the show.

Trevor's had his allotment (Milton Piece) since 1993 and loves growing broad beans and sweetcorn.

Liz is Secretary and the Chariman's right hand lady, making sure the Committee know what they're doing and when. Liz is the main point of contact for liaising with the Allotment Inspector and City Council.

Liz has had her allotment (Eastney Lake) since 2014 and loves Borlotti Beans - fresh and dried.

Michael joined the Committee in January 2018 and has taken over the role of Finance Secretary for 2019. He has had his allotment (Hope Cottage) since late  2016 but still feels new.      

One of his favourite crops to grow are runner beans because they make a statement on the plot with their height and colourful flowers.

Helen has had her allotment (Eastney Lake) since 2000. She shares it with her husband, 2 dogs and uses it to educate local children. Helen manages the volunteer rota for the onsite shop.

Helen likes to watch the children learn, grow and blossom. They like to ge muddy, watch the squash grow and eat what's ripe.

Bill has had his allotment (Eastney Lake) for the best part of 20 years. He grows crops for all seasons and enjoys the moment seeds burst into life. 

Bill loves June (the month) for the peas, broad beans and new potatoes; lightly cooked with fresh mint and drizzled with a little butter; followed, of course, by freshly picked strawberries.

Diane has had her allotment (Eastney Lake) since 2013. She and her granddaughters like to grow purple carrots and sunflowers. 

The seeds are for the birds, but the rest of the vegetables are for the family. Diane tries to grow the largest each year pumpkin for Halloween.
