Barnet Federation

The Barnet Federation was formed in 1965 at the time of the amalgamation of the Boroughs of Finchley, Hendon, the urban districts of Barnet, East Barnet and Friern Barnet into the London Borough of Barnet.

The Federation holds at least nine meetings a year for site representatives and an annual general meeting in February.
These meetings are held in the Pavilion at Rathbone Allotments in Oakleigh Road North, Whetstone.

Federation representatives meet monthly with a councillor and council officers to discuss allotment matters.

Federation members also assist in the arrangements for the Horticultural Section at the Friern Barnet Summer Show held annually in August in Friary Park N12.

The Federation holds an annual Plot and Site competition in July together with a prize giving at Rathbone Allotments in October where cups and shields are awarded together with monetary prizes.
