October Newsletter

Please take a few minutes to read this important message from your Committee.

It is the time of year when we are putting our gardens to bed for the winter and it is also approaching the time of year when your Committee has to account for what they have been doing over the past twelve months at the annual AGM in November.

This month we have a very important message to all members regarding the future of your Club. The Club can not function without an elected Committee in place and as several members are standing down at the AGM we need people to fill these roles – Treasurer, Membership Secretary, and Speaker Secretary. The future of IDHS is in jeopardy and we desperately need your help to make sure that the Club can continue. If you value what the Club brings both socially and horticulturally then consider whether you can spare a few hours a month to help. Please come forward and contact any Committee member or you may know someone who may be interested that could be contacted.  It would be sad to see the end of such a successful club that has prospered for so many years and that so many people have enjoyed being part of. We must emphasis what a serious position we will be in if there is no response.

 The future of the Club is in your hands…

At the next meeting on Thursday 26thOctober we have Tim Woodland coming to speak to us about Planting Bulbs in the Autumn. This will be very timely and Tim will have bulbs for you to buy as an extra temptation. We look forward to seeing you then.  If you have been busy dividing plants in your gardens then please consider putting some by for the annual plant sale next spring.
