Big Keith Digs Deep to Secure Leek Title

The inaugural Gigha Leek Union of Growers (GLUG) show was held in the Gigha Hotel earlier this year and, after a tense and heated judging session a clear winner was chosen.  Keith Helm, a native of Yorkshire and thereby versed in the traditina nd importnace of leek growing to the human copndityion, triumphed over the talented and varied competition.  John Earnsahw of Achamore Farm, Gigha, carried out the judging to the prescribed high standards and ensured at all times that fair-play was adhered to.

The competition, sponsored by Gigha Halibut, will now be an annual event and judging by the success of this years show, will become a much anticipated event.  Special thanks to Henri from Smashing Glass for producing such a magnificent trophy, the hotel for a wonderful buffet, the hard-working GLUG committee for all their efforts (cough cough) and Gigha Halibut for their support.
