THE January meeting of the Club was well attended, 26 members returning to join the club for a further year. We were well entertained by Adrian James with his talk and slides - Four Seasons and a Festival. A popular speaker, Adrian introduced us to the seasonal displays in Gardens in four different areas of the country, wetting our appetites to ensure visits to the individual gardens in the future. This month our talk is Recreation of Hanbury Hall Grounds given by the Head Gardener, Neal Cook. The monthly competition is Flower of the Month when we encourage our members to raid their winter gardens and take part. Show schedules for the Spring Show in March will also be handed out. We look forward to welcoming everyone for what promises to be another entertaining and informative evening. For further information please contact Dorothy Turpitt - 01386 830834. On a more sombre note, we send our sincere sympathy to our President and his wife, on the tragic loss of their son. Our thoughts are with you both at this sad time.
