At the presentation Ceremony on Wednesday 10th July held in the Council Chamber of Minehead Town Council the Chair of the Allotments Committee Cllr. Paul Grierson introduced himself and the Mayor Cllr. Val Welch to the assembled guests and thanked them for attending the function for the presentation of the Dick Collins Challenge Cup for the best kept allotment. He said that it had been particularly difficult this year to separate some of the plots as the standard had been very high, in some cases it had come down to very small margins between the winning plots. It had been very hard to decide on the winners at Marshfield Road and Poundfield Road as the bar had been raised again from last year and fractions of a point decided final positions. All the sites had been very well work and it was satisfying to see so many people working plots. The Mayor Cllr. Val Welch thanked Cllr. Anthony Barry for resurrecting the Competition last year and expressed her pleasure that the Competition was still "growing" and no doubt year on year would continue to be strongly supported. Cllr. Grierson thanked the judges for all their hard work and support.
The Overall Winner was announced as Mr Peter Phillips from the Marshfield Road Allotment Site who was presented with the Dick Collins Challenge Cup for the Best Kept Allotment, he also received a £15 garden token and certificate.
