Newsletter April 2025

April 2025. Some showers for the garden maybe?
Thank you for electing me as your President for one more year. Three of our members helped make the AGM very memorable indeed with stories and a poem. Thank you Denise, Dawn and Jean. I hope we can do something similar again every now and then. There must be many more stories among you.

A big welcome to Cynthia who joined last month.

If you enjoy messing about in the garden like me, you might have spare seedlings or cuttings that would be very welcome for our plant sales table in May.

Please start collecting garden or food magazines for a group project later this year.

Offers of help with raffle, flowers and sales table are needed. We will circulate boards for you to put your name down.
We did really well on the sales table last month. Having a sort out? It might very well be just what somebody else wants or the ideal raffle prize.
