IDHS Newsletter - June 2020

Dear Members
Yet another month has gone by and I am sure many of you are enjoying this fabulous weather although like me some will be scanning weather forecasts for a hint of rain and we may be in luck sometime this week!
Although lockdown is being lifted slowly, as a committee we think, sadly, it will be sometime before it is safe to hold an indoor meeting but as soon as we think it is safe to do so, we look forward to welcoming you back to the club.
I start this newsletter with a picture, I finally managed to get our new gazebo erected with some help and thought you might like to see a picture! This was purchased with a grant from the local parish council and club funds and will be very useful for events such as the plant sale, show and Frogham fair (hopefully next year).


For those of you that did not get to the end of last months newsletter, my plea this month comes near the top!
Your club needs a new Treasurer and we need someone by November when Debbie steps down, needing to spend more time developing her business. The post is not onerous and I know Debbie would be happy to talk to anyone that might be interested.
If you know anyone that could help or wants to know more, please give them my email or let me have their details.

Most importantly, your club cannot function without this role.  


We have been contacted by Danni Garrett who would like any unwanted plants to go to NHS and other key workers by putting up signs and putting the plants in the lay-by  at the Old Beams pub at weekends. If you have any plants that you can spare for this worthwhile cause then contact Danni at danygarrett@talktalk.net  or on 01425 471635.

Many National Trust properties are beginning to open up but you may need to book a slot to visit- the booking system is available on individual property web pages so do look before you visit.

Dont forget to look at our blog    IDHS blogspot  to see the many wonderful photos, articles, sale adverts etc. I would like to see some of the vegetable patches that produce such amazing wins for our club members at the show so please
send them to me or John at johnandroshan@outlook.com
In the meantime, please stay safe and well and hope to see you all soon

Your Committee
