A big thank you to everyone who was part of this year’s Apple Day. It was a very successful show with a lovely atmosphere. We had more visitors than last year and sold 100s of apples and jars of jam! The pork rolls were delicious and teas and cakes went down very well too.
Thanks to everyone who helped out in any way.
Any members of the Society who didn’t get their 5 free Falconet Narcissus bulbs to grow for next year’s Spring Show – please let us know.
Remember Lowdham Horticultural Society’s Apple Day ‘A Taste of Autumn’ is this Sunday, 19th October 11am to 4pm. It is held in Lowdham Village Hall and entry is £1.50 to adults, children are free. There will be 100+ apple varieties on display, apple tasting, apple sales, fresh apple juice, bar with cider and perry. We also serve refreshments – hot pork rolls, teas and cakes. There are various demonstrations to see and an extensive range of jams and chutneys on sale.
Please come along and join us!
Just to remind everyone that it is our AGM, tomorrow night, Friday 10th October, 7.30pm at the W.I. Hall in Lowdham. Please come along for a glass of wine and to discuss last year’s events and to find out about the trips, shows and talks that we have planned in our new programme.
On Sunday 2nd November, we are heading to Moreton in Marsh to experience the spectacular autumn colour at Batsford Arboretum and Garden Centre (www.batsarb.co.uk). We will be leaving from Lowdham at approximately 9am and travelling there by coach, where we can spend time walking around the arboretum, visiting the garden centre or enjoying a spot of lunch in their café!
All are welcome and the cost of the trip is £12 to members and £16 to non members. This price covers both the transport and entry to the arboretum. We are keeping our fingers crossed for a bright, crisp autumn day.
If you would like more details or to reserve a place on the coach, don’t hesitate to contact me via the website.
Just a note to say thank you as your help and support was very much appreciated on Sunday and Monday.
Despite the poor weather the show was enjoyed by all that visited and it was nice to see new exhibitors this year with the addition particularly of the Hawks of Steele.
It is lovely that you were prepared to commit to be involved and give up a day to help us. Those who shifted, lifted, poured tea, coffee and offered cake, directed, delegated, cleared up, cleaned down, collected money and got wet.
Thank you
I would also like to thank those of you who entered the classes, as without the exhibits themselves there would be nothing to look at.
Well done to all of you. You are very important. Looking forward to 2015
