Spring Flowers Evening

A fun evening for members to show off their Spring flowers and judge other peoples.
  • Wednesday 16th March 2022

It is such a pleasure to report how successful the evening was. We had 14 classes and the majority had a good selection of flowers, the daffodils were quite outstanding as were the hellibores. All present including our visitors examined all the exhibits and made a note of their favorites. These results were collated and the winners announced. No prizes just a bit of fun. During the evening Cynthia Thompson spoke about the illustrious history of the club followed by John Davis who talked about our future going forward with our new name and hopefully lots of new ideas. We had 5 visitors and we hope they will join the club. All present enjoyed the tea and homemade cake in the break and we look forward to our next meeting.

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.
