SOUTHWELL FLOWER POD TALK

Our next talk is at 7.30pm, this Thursday, 18th February at the WI Hall, Lowdham.  We will be visited by Anna Joyce from the Southwell Flower Pod.  She will be talking to us about their work, supporting adults with learning disabilities, developing their horticultural skills and growing cut flowers for local businesses and the community.  We plan to follow up this talk with an evening visit during the summer.  All are welcome and there is a small fee of £2 to non-members.

SOCIAL EVENING

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all.

Just a reminder that this Friday, 8th January we are hosting the social with the History Society, 7.30pm at the Village Hall.  We shall we putting on a selection of quizzes and have invited John and Gail Summerfield (who presented our December talk) to run one of these – which should be fun!  As we are hosting we ask members of LHS to bring along something savoury or sweet to form part of a light buffet.  The Horticultural Society will be providing drinks, so no need to bring these.

I would also like to remind you that our next Coach visit is to Harrogate Spring Show on Sunday 24th April.  We are able to buy cheaper tickets in advance so the cost of the trip is very reasonable at £20 for members and £24 for non-members (this includes transport and entry into the show).  It would be great to take a coach full and all are welcome.  I will bring a sheet for people to sign up at the social and ask for payment well in advance as the tickets need to be pre-purchased.

Hoping to see lots of you on Friday evening.

NOVEMBER TALK
