The Annual General Meeting will be held at 7.30pm on Friday 11th October in the upstairs room at Tyrrells Hall Club.
The following documents are attached below:
a. 11/10/24 AGM agenda
b. Minutes from previous AGM held October 2023
c. Draft constitution with proposed amendments
One committee member has resigned and the remaining five have confirmed they wish to continue in their current roles. If you would like to stand for the committee or as one of the roles then please put yourself forward at the AGM, you will need a person to nominate you and another to second that nomination. If more than one person stands or is nominated for either the vacancy, or an existing role, then a vote of members present at the meeting will will take place.
After the AGM business is completed the fun will begin with our Annual Competition:
Whitefly Infestation
If all plants are still growing don’t worry, as once the temperature drops the whitefly will disappear.
Some will be eaten by ladybirds and hoverfly larvae. Hoverfly larvae are transparent so can be left to eat the whitefly; green caterpillars are best removed.
Older leaves on sprouts can be removed.
Whitefly can also be sprayed off with water – make an organic spray with garlic and water (see internet for guidance) or buy a chemical spray from Amazon, garden centres etc.
Yellow sticky sheets could also work but will trap other insects that may be useful around the plot
