Annual Social Event 2023

Social Evening for Club Members
  • Wednesday 18th January 2023

About 25 of our members braved the chilly night air to meet at St Lukes for the annual Social Evening. Our first event of the new year gave everyone the chance to meet and mingle. Newer members took the chance to introduce themselves while existing members took the opportunity to catch up with old friends.

A mammoth session of the Flower Pot Drive game was played. Swopping seats to compete with different teams, we all got the chance to mix and meet, with a prize going to the winning duo at the end.

At half time, members were treated to a lovely buffet spread and refreshments, all arranged by the club committee. There was also a raffle, providing further entertainment.

A light hearted event getting the year off to a good start.

Bereavement

It is with great sadness that one of our staunchest members have died. Our sympathies go to his family and partner Marion.

Allotment Sharing

One of our members has 2 large allotments at St Margaret Road site in Lowestoft which he shared with his late mother and her partner. He has tried to keep them going but is finding it difficult on his own. He finds gardening very therapeutic and having suffered from cancer himself he wondered if other members who have had similar experiences could join him on his allotments where they could share experiences and socialise together. Without a team to help him he will have to give up the allotments but feels it would be beneficial to all concerned to work together. For more information please complete the contact form.

Changes to membership fees

It has been agreed by both the members and the committee that the membership fee will increase to £10 per annum, In order to get good speakers we need to increase our income, speakers costs have also increased as have their travelling costs. The entrance fee will remain at £1.00 with first time guest free of charge.
