Headington and District Allotment Association
Promoting a healthy green hobby leading to a healthy home-grown diet
Oxford Town Hall was the venue for the ODFAA allotment competition awards ceremony held on 27 September, and John Garne Way (JGW) and Eden Drive (ED) allotmenteers were among the award winners, as can be seen from the picture gallery below.

Sunday December 4 2016. A party in more than one sense of the word. It was certainly a work party – ad hoc trimming of overhanging trees over the previous few months had resulted in a sizeable pile of foliage. So the work was to shift the pile to a plot out of smoke-reach of the nearby hospital and burn it. Many hands made light work (there is a pun there somewhere). A well-deserved pre-Christmas party followed, with mulled wine and lunch-spoiling seasonal eats brought along by the allotmenteers. As can be seen from the pictures, it was a crisp and beautiful day, judged a great success by one and all.
The Association’s Annual General Meeting, held on Tuesday 6 February 2018, was well attended by members of each of the three sites.
Association members will find the financial report for the year to 31 October 2017 and the minutes of the 2017 AGM via this link. (Note that members’ passwords are available via the relevant site’s Field Secretary.)
Ron Smith, who sadly passed away some time ago, had been a stalwart at John Garne Way for many years. To honour his memory, the site members agreed to create an annual award for the best site newcomer, to be known as The Ron Smith Memorial Cup.
The winner for 2016 was Xiahui Ren and the 2017 Annual General Meeting of the association provided a suitable context for the the presentation.
