The Ned Hartley Cup – Best Allotment in Stoke Poges

It was decided not to present the cup this year due to many people having to self isolate during the Coronavirus pandemic and the unfair competition this would have created. However we are delighted to exhibit photographs of some of the plots.

Colourful Pubs

As a result of the Covid-19 Lockdown many pubs have not planted up their forecourts and accordingly we were unable to present the J T Ireland Cup for The Most Colourful Pub in the three villages. However two ‘locals’ have made a wonderful effort since and their floral displays are a lovely cheerful sight for everyone who passes by.

Congratulations to the 2020 winners – Bev & Andrew Nealon receiving their Trophy on Bells Hill Green.
