THANKS

Posted on by

On behalf of the Society I would like to say a big thank you to anyone who was involved in organising, helped at, entered in or attended our Summer Show yesterday.  The weather did not behave,  but despite that the show all ran smoothly!  It was great to see all the entries and that so many people turned up to support us in the rain.

Thanks to all those members who renewed their membership at the show.  If you didn’t get chance please send your £10 to Christine soon and she will give you details of this year’s exciting programme of events.  Our first talk of the year is on Friday 19th September, so hope to see many of you then.

Plant Sale Thank You

Thank you to everyone who contributed in any way towards the plant sale today – growing and donating plants, selling and buying.

It was a great success.  We had the most plants that we have ever had to sell and lots of happy customers, who can be seen enjoying the lovely weather. The summer bedding plants, vegetable plants, herbs, shrubs and perennials were of high quality.
