Members Table Show

Flower and Vegetable show for members only
  • Wednesday 20th July 2022

The members of Waveney Gardeners club came up trumps for the members Table show, an important event in the calendar of the club, but our first for 2 years so a real treat. There were over 30 entries ranging from several classes for flowers including some novel floral art of a flower arrangement in a shoe. A wide range of first class vegetable and fruit exhibits showing that our gardeners have not lost their touch. There was also a class for a Victoria sponge cake and a photography class of a photo of a spider! While the judging was taking place we had a very entertaining talk from Peter Ransome on wildlife in his garden. Following this the trophies were presented to the worthy winners. A lovely evening and so good to be back.

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.
