24th February 2021 OBITUARY
It's with great sadness we have to report the passing of two WAGA Members:
Mike Rice.
Mike had a plot at Humber and was a WAGA member for many years and WAGA Chairman for a few years in the early 2000's
Bob Bingham.
Bob took on his first allotment plot at West Tarring in 2008. He very soon became an established grower, particularly of vegetables, and his expertise was well respected by all. When WAM began to manage the site, Bob willingly lent a hand as a valuable member of the working party. He soon became the main disposer of allotment waste, making frequent trips to the tip using one of WAM’s trailers. Once the working party began finding more and more scrap metal, Bob saw this as an opportunity to raise funds for the Humanitarian Aid charity. To date he had contributed around £10,000.

21st December 2020 WAGA - 2020 PRESIDENTS CUP & BANKSIAN MEDAL
On Saturday 19th December we had a very small (and socially distanced!!) presentation at West Tarring Site. Angie Hewitt was presented with The Presidents Cup by Ian Dunster (WAGA President) for work in running the shop at West Tarring and also her committee work as Bookkeeper.
Derek Turner was presented with The Banksian Medal. This is usually given to the person who achieves the most points at the annual show. Last year (2019) he tied for points at the show and as a true gentleman said to present the medal we had to his joint winner, We are only allowed to have one medal each year, so as we didn't have a show this year, WAGA have been able to award him the medal he gave up last year, The Medal was presented by our very own festive Chairman Jack Powis!
Congratulations to the both of you.
