Kelvin Mason describes how to grow Vegetables in small gardens and containers.

The meeting will start with our AGM.  Papers have already been distributed at our last meeting and only a very few will be available on Thursday so please do bring along your copy. As regulars will know, our AGM is usually a quick affair - an opportunity to celebrate what we have been doing over the past year and also to ask your committee any questions about the club and its running.  Please do feel free to do this.

At the meeting there will be available azalea seedling plugs, grown by member John Horne who is our local azalea and rhododendron expert . The seedlings look small right now but they will grow into unique plants .

Also there will be a selection of  exquisite Chinese Brush Painting cards. These have been handmade and then printed by a great friend of the club and have been donated in recognition of the many enjoyable trips she has had with us. 
Knowing that the artist, Pat Baines is unwell, the Club sends her our very best wishes as well as our heartfelt thanks. These are really  lovely cards and all proceeds will go to your club.
