Only a few days to go until Apple Day.

Please can I ask anyone who has time, to make a cake to go with the teas, as we ran out very early at the Summer Show.

Members will all be given a bag of 5 ‘Narcissus Tresamble’ bulbs to grow for the Spring Show, so please collect these on the day as it is easier than us trying to get them to you.

If anyone has an hour spare and wouldn’t mind helping serving teas, with apple sales or tasting please let me know, as many hands make light work!

There will be refreshments and hot pork rolls, so no need for lunch beforehand!  Look forward to seeing lots of you there.

Tomorrow we have an evening visit to Riseholme, a NGS garden at Radcliffe on Trent.  Having spoken to the garden owner, Elaine, this morning, we have decided to bring forward the time of the visit to 6.15 as it is now nearly dark by 8pm.  If we meet at 6pm at Lowdham Village Hall to share cars, or 6.15pm at the garden ready to start.  We will look at the garden first and then have refreshments afterwards.  Anyone who isn’t able to make it this earlier, just join us when you can.  Please tell anyone that you know is coming of these changes as I am aware not everyone is on email.

The cost of this visit is subsidised by LHS at £3 for members or £5 for non-members.  If you are no longer able to come or would now like to join us, please let me know via the website, ASAP so that Elaine has an idea of numbers for refreshments.

The address of the garden is Riseholme, 125 Shelford Road, Radcliffe on Trent, Notts, NG12 1AZ.

Our first evening trip for this summer is to Southwell Flower Pod, as a follow up to the interesting talk that we had about it in February.  We are visiting on Thursday 30^th June at 7pm.  The evening visit will last approx 2 hours and we will be served with refreshments. The cost will be subsidised by the society at £3 per person for members and £5 for non-members.  I do need numbers beforehand please, so contact me via the website if you would like to join us.

I suggest people meet at the car park of Lowdham Village Hall at 6.30 to share cars or at the Flower Pod just before 7.
