The inaugural meeting of the Southam Gardening Club at Craven Lane Hall took place last night with, special guest, Terry Walton: "the Allotment Doctor".
The evening was real success with the Craven Lane Hall full to bursting!
Over 70 people had a superb evening and Terry kept them all well informed and amused.
He is a very knowledgeable and entertaining speaker.

Terry Walton is well known to listeners of BBC Radio 2’s Jeremy Vine Show where he is affectionately known as the 'Allotment Doctor'.
Terry has had an allotment since he was just 11 years old.
At one time he had ten plots to look after. He has had the same Rhondda Valley plot now for over half a century [click here for a gallery of photos of Terry and his allotment in the Rhondda Valley].
Terry retired from a career in industry in 2001 and his love of allotments and all things gardening led to a regular slot on the Jeremy Vine Show together with input to Gardeners Click and SAGA.
Terry has a number of videos on line offering advice on all things allotments:
· Rhubarb to the Rescue - Save your cabbages now
· Saving the Pennies - Recycle and save money
· Pond Life - Why frogs are your friends
· Planting - Marigolds to the rescue
· Terry's Tour - A look behind the scenes
· Sowing the Seeds - The early days of a runner bean
Once every three months - spring, summer, autumn and winter – Terry is visiting allotments for the Jeremy Vine show offering advice and expertise.
