Allotment Soc AGM stormed by special branch!

The meeting got off to a good start with a unanimous decision about Colonel Jackson's memorial bench, a tasteful oak to be placed on the communal grassed area by the shop. Then mayhem. The meeting was stormed by special branch! They had come for Dorothy. We were all flabbergasted.

It turns out that her knowledge of the streets and the world of crime was not second hand through Irvine Welsh but in fact was all down to her experience as a master drug smuggler! The police have had her under surveillance for quite some time. Apparently she had planned to clear the section around her plot, getting rid of Colonel Jackson, Edna, Marjorie and the Smithsons in order to enlarge her own space four fold. She had thought to grow poppies there and had already started to set up a lab in her potting shed. In the past we have had problems with people trying to grow commercially. There was a young man who aroused suspicion by growing more shallots than anyone alone could possibly eat but Dorothy takes the biscuit. Of course now we need a new chair for the committee. According to the police Dorothy will be banged up for some considerable time.
