We held an Open Day at Foster Road allotments, Trumpington, Cambridge, England. Again we saw lovely weather and hundreds of visitors from near and far (including a couple from Penzance, Cornwall!). This follows on from our successful event in 2003.

Visitors explored this vibrant allotment site which has great diversity amongst its human and wildlife populations. Visitors also enjoyed the competitions including scarecrows, vegetable treasure hunt, The Natural Lottery^™ (guess the number of seeds in a marrow), and a high-quality tombola. Refreshments and extremely fresh allotment produce were on sale too.

We were very pleased to welcome stalls from the following organisations:

• Cambridgeshire Beekeepers Association
• The Black Gold Composting Initiative from Anglesey Abbey
• ENLINCA Co-Housing Co-operative
• HDRA Master Composters
• Dawn & Barry - Wickerware
