What a shame... I would have loved to visit but we're on hols. I'll let you know when we have a similar event (Archer Lane Allotment and Home Garden Society) if you fancy it. Hope it goes well anyway and the weather stays fine.

Yesterday (Saturday) was the open day down out allotments so I too my video cam and shot some footage of several (out of more than 100) of the allotments open to the public.
The site is north west facing on a double slope and most of the plots are enclosed by hedges with gated access. Most have steps or sloping path, some of stone, flags and some grass. Although many are kept in production, it struck me that, despite there being a long waiting list for plots, there must be 20 not being used much at all, and some unused for a few years.
Here is a short version of the video I made: YouTube - ‪Woodseats Allotments Openday 2011.wmv‬‏
