SUMMARY:We're Back!!!! (Regular Monthly Meeting)
DESCRIPTION:At last we shall be able to meet after the most unusual 18 months. The meeting will open with a short AGM. It is only a year late during which time I hope that our members have had lots of time to get the most marvellous plants for this month’s show table. There are several important posts to fill many of which Bill\, who has been Chairperson for an extra year\, has heroically manged to fill bar the necessity of having to be seconded by the members at the meeting. NO NEED TO MAKE AN EXCUSE FOR NOT COMING THEN! It is planned that this bit of the meeting will be very short. After that there are plans to have a plant sale. Both Bill Gardiner and Andy Gissing have indicated they have lots of spares! Cash will be needed so you can leave your overused cards at home! Mostly though this meeting will be to renew acquaintances and just socialise. \nOn a more down to earth note regarding the Covid situation there will be hand sanitizer available and we are lucky that the hall is large enough to be able to spread out and not get too close. If members feel safer when walking around please bring a facemask. \nBill has asked that you E-Mail him if you are not able to attend this meeting. \n
