Tony Booth who was our longest serving plot member sadly passed away yesterday. He had to relinquish his two allotments last October through really poor health.
Tony was an integeral part of Old Lane Allotments for over 35 years and saw the transition of the site becoming a self managed site as it is today. He was site treasurer for a number of years .He was a book of knowledge regarding allotments and gardening. Tony received many awards at garden shows for his outstanding vegatables and he loved to grow and show Chrysanthemum flowers. He was always willing to help people and he formed many special friendships over the years. Tony will be sadly missed by us all. At this time our thoughts go out to his family. I will publish details of the funeral when i get to know the date and time.
