The hugely popular Deal Hop Farm is preparing for its sixth season, offering the chance for new people to join in.
About 250 people in and around Deal, including a number here on our allotments, already take part in this community project, growing hops which are then brewed into a variety of beers by Time and Tide Brewing.
If you are interested in joining, come along to the season launch at The Lighthouse, The Strand, Walmer, on Wednesday, February 2 at 6.30pm.
The funeral of long-standing plotholder Mary Tester is due to take place at Barham on Wednesday, December 29 at 2pm, followed by a wake at Betteshanger Bowling Club, Cavell Square.
Mary’s partner, John Chidwick, says anyone who knew her will be welcome at either event.
The hearse will drive past the allotments at about 1.15pm if anyone would like to pay their respects there.
