It is with sadness that I have to report the death of Ron Watts MBE. Ron passed away on Sunday 9th August after a long illness.
Ron as you are aware judged our annual allotment competition for many years until this year but would have done it this year if we could have got him round the allotments. Ron also judged our allotment show from it inception and was always willing to help in any way he could.
I had known Ron for many years and he was such a gentleman. He will be sadly missed by us all.

Dear all,
I have found that a petition has been started to try and stop Dow Agrosciences having the suspended chemical weedkiller reinstated that has contaminated so much manure. The petition is http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/aminopyralidban and I have signed it. I feel we need to try and stop this as so many crops have been affected by this problem.
Kind regards
Kevin
