2026 Report
Its been a busy year, but a successful time for our Society this year.
The monthly meeting have been well attended, and we have had some very interesting speakers. During the year we have had a coach trip to RHS Hyde Hall, which as we are an affiliated society only cost the coach fare. We also drove to Doddington Place where on arrival there was a downpour and we all stayed in our cars. After coffee it stopped raining and the sun came out so we had a very interesting walk around the garden.
In September we had our Annual Show which was a great event with lots of people attending.
