May 2026 Newsletter
May blossom. A big welcome to Susan, Julie and Pat who all joined last month. We now have 55 members. I am trying hard to learn all the names. Please chat to a new face!
This is a lovely time of the year when nature is renewing itself. Share the joy of plants with seedlings and cuttings for our sales table at the May meeting. We have finally got some sunshine along with the high pollen count. Make the most of it while it lasts.
The updated Oxfordshire Inspires magazine order has gone in and will come into effect next month.
A big thankyou to the many of you who have returned the new membership forms. It has meant a lot of extra work for the committee with many questions to answer. We have done our utmost to clarify as much as we can. The friendship and togetherness of the WI mean a lot. Please let us protect what we have together.
