At the committee meeting held on 5 June, Max Edney reported that membership had increased to over 420 for the year 2003.
Those of you who came to our talk in the Parish Room in March will remember what a superb evening it was. Bruce Taggert from Capel Manor College gave us a wonderful insight into “Managing a garden for wildlife”. That evening every ticket was sold and now there is another date for your diary. On Friday 12 September 2003 we shall be holding another talk in the Parish Room. More details later.

Kathy Ward, our secretary, has successfully applied to Highgrove, to visit the Prince of Wales private garden. The date has not yet been finalised and will be some time in the future. The party will be limited to 25 members and tickets will be offered to those members who regularly support the Society and exhibit at our shows.

A reminder that our Autumn Show is on Saturday 6 September in the Village Hall. Entry forms can be found in the middle pages of this years schedule and when you have completed them, may be handed in to any committee member, at Londis or Brits News. I look forward to seeing you all at the Show. Ann Soanes
