Gobsmacked!

Yesterday evening was the occasion of the AGM of the allotment association. It was something of a revelation. There are 38 full-size allotments and some are divided into half plots and a few are divided into quarters. As a result there are 59 members of the association (plot holders). Forty two (that's right, 42) turned out for the AGM. I was gobsmacked. Most of the clubs and societies I've had anything to do with have huge difficulty getting people to attend their AGMs, but a 70% turn-out for the AGM is something I have never encountered before. I am proud to be a member of such an august bunch.
