Hello Everyone

Hoping this finds you well The weather is poor just now however sadly, so it is becoming harder to do much out in our gardens, as the days shorten also. It is the time however when possible to tidy the garden, cut hedges, plant bulbs indoors and outside and wait for them to "pop up" in the Spring which will be so welcome. Also "rescue" any Geranium plants and other tender plants and take cuttings, and move them perhaps to a greenhouse if you have one for protection from frosts

We held our AGM last week, but sadly only a few people attended

We had the talk as planned after and it was kind of Kerry and Jason to host us at their lovely farm Thank you to those who attended

Phil Laimbeer resigned from his role as our Honey rep, but Fern and Graham Burgess are happy to take over this role so we welcome them into

the society ( Oliver will be amending our header here shortly) Thank you Phil for your support last year.

We are holding our Autumn Jumble Sale on 26th October at the village hall 50p entry and and we look forward to receiving your donations in the morning of the sale from 8am For those that require collection of donations Alan will be available to organise this just the week before as we have no storage

We will be planning outside visits and talks for next year soon and would value ideas from you all about where you would like to go and any talks The visits will need to be quite local, as we will be going by our own cars/ sharing Please let me have your ideas thank you.

I have attached a Poster of the Bohemia Walled garden in st Leonards who have an open day on 27th October All are welcome FREE entry

It is a small community garden and refreshments will be on hand.

I will keep you posted as we plan more for year ahead but we will be unable to hold the Christmas Quiz this year, but hope to plan a social evening for members nearer the season to enjoy so watch this space

Thank you

Alan says that this years subs are due please at just £5 per year if you wish to continue to be a member

Thank you all

Kind Regards
