FORTHCOMING EVENTS

 

TRINITY FAIR – 12 June 2010

Rose Show and Junior Section, and our usual Plant Stall

 

ANNUAL SHOW – 4 September 2010

To be held as previously in the Main Hall, Royal British Legion, Bottisham

 

The ANNUAL OUTING this year is on Wednesday 28 July, to East Ruston Old Vicarage, a 30-acre exotic coastal garden at Happisburgh in Norfolk, stopping on the way at Wroxham Barns where there is a plant centre, craft shops and much more. Carol has further details.

 

The next BURWELL V. BOTTISHAM competition will be held on Monday 14 June, at Trinity Church, High Street, Burwell. Let’s have a good attendance with plenty of plants.

 


 

Mrs Jenny Wright has plenty of WELL ROTTED HORSE MANURE which she is pleased to offer free to members. Please bring your own bags (spades can be provided), and please also ring her before collection – further details and telephone number available  from the Secretary.

 


 

We have been asked if we can help the EAST ANGLIA CHILDREN’S HOSPICES with their Gala Day event on Saturday 8 May – if any members can supply them with a few plants for their plant stall they would be very grateful. Please contact Pamela Smethurst on 01223 205180, or alternatively Tricia will collect plants together and deliver them to her.

 


 

We are sorry to report the recent sad death of GEORGE MITCHELL, a longstanding friend and hard working member of the Club. Our condolences and sympathy go to Valerie.
