Wed 15th July Social Evening Fuchsia competition, membership renewal, & just for fun quiz

Wednesday 15th July at 7:30 is our Summer Social Evening to which all gardeners in the area are very welcome. There will be refreshments, a quiz, a raffle and a chance to catch up with all the local news.

This is the final meeting of our year and therefore the opportunity to renew your membership or become a new member. At £7 a year membership is such good value, lots of opportunity to socialise, interesting talks and discussion, two traditional shows, and the added bonus of a discount card for use when purchasing selected items at Groves and Little Groves Nurseries.

Adding to the excitement will be the judging of the members fuchsia grown from a plug plant they received earlier in the year. So now is the time to do all that you can to persuade that little plant to produce an amazing array of blooms. Something that is totally beyond me but I will still bring it in to show it what it should be doing. Mine usually is beautiful in September!

Finally, in preparation for our 80th SUMMER SHOW on SATURDAY 8th AUGUST at the Village Hall and wishing to encourage more entries from village children under 12, on Saturday 4th July from 10am until noon in Drimpton Village Hall [as advertised above] the Gardening Club will be holding a fun workshop with practical ideas for their classes in this year's schedule. Any entries completed on the morning can of course be entered into the show.

Finally, finally I look forward to seeing lots of new faces at our Social Evening in the hope we can boost our membership, although this is absolutely not a prerequisite just come and join us for a pleasant evening.
