Message from the Chair
It has been good to have had our first events since the outbreak of Covid 19. The first at the Broyle Country Show where we used gazebos rather than a marquee proved to be very successful. Despite the weather on Sunday the majority of members had a successful event and we are keen to return next year.
The second was a new event at Staple Cross Garden Centre and saw a significant footfall on the Saturday which again was successful. Sunday was less so with very heavy rain which meant an early finish. However, we will look to return in 2022.
The owners of Staple Cross Garden Centre are keen to run some more events in the runup to Christmas. We are potentially looking at the weekends of 4th & 5th and 11th & 12 December but before confirming details would like to hear from members on the dates that they would be interested in. In addition to these possibilities the owners may also run other events on 27th & 28th November and 18th & 19th December. If members are interested in attending on any of the dates shown above can they please advise the Secretary by 31st August. This will allow us to finalise our arrangements and provide the necessary details.
Below are details of other events that we have planned for this year.
