Lib Dem Leader Lynne Featherstone this weekend gave the prizes at the Golf Course Allotments and Garden Association Annual Show, at the allotments off Winton Road, near Alexandra Palace. Ms Featherstone handed out awards for the best vegetables, flowers and fruit at the Sunday afternoon event

In a magnificent show, the Association received more entries than ever before, with prize categories that included a members’ vegetable section; a novice section which received a huge showing from first time entrants; a flower and fruit section; a novelty section, a magnificent children’s section and a domestic section for jams and chutneys.

Commenting, Lynne Featherstone said:

“It was a hugely enjoyable day, a magnificent show and a heart-warming display of community spirit, with people from all walks of life joined in their mutual interest. The allotments are a wonderful benefit to people and the local environment. I could certainly do with taking this up myself as the perfect stress buster!”
