Tuber Sale Wed 16th Jan 14
Prices down on last year!
Nearly 50 members attended this year's sale. Quantities were down - probably due to the wet weather and tubers rotting. Prices were down on last year - it seemed that people came for specific varieties.
Thanks to all who brought tubers for sale and those who helped in the sale, setting up, clearing down and providing sandwiches & cake.
Weston melody goes for £9.50
In the last bid of the sale two members wanted a tuber of Weston Melody. The price reached was £9.50! A much higher price than the £1.60 reached in 2012. |
The highest prices were paid for Giants - few tubers and a few determined bidders meant that Janal Amy went for £5.70 and John Hill for £4.00. | |
This year's tuber sale was well attended - see above photo. There were 66 different varieties of tuber for sale, the same as last year. There were a lot of Medium Decs - 9 varieties as against 4 last year A complete list of the prices can be seen here: Tuber sale prices
