This year’s Christmas Social on Friday December 12th is a change from our usual quiz – we hope you will book a place and come along to … Christmas Wreaths.
One of our members Karen Stephens has offered to lead a group through making your own wreath for your front door, there will be a cost of £25 per wreath to cover materials.
Your £25 will buy a 12″ door wreath, with lights included (not the batteries), ribbons from a selection, fresh holly, pine cones and cinnamon sticks. Please see photo of finished wreath attached.
One to two people per wreath – you will need to bring your own scissors that are strong enough to cut thin wire.
Drinks can be bought from the bar as usual, mince pies will be supplied
Interested? Then please contact Karen via email karenfstephens@hotmail.co.uk to arrange paying the £10 deposit this will secure your wreath and must be paid by 3rd November
August Open Day will be held at Rosedale Road on Saturday 16th August from 10.00am to 1.00pm.
Donations of allotment produce, cakes, jams, pickle and chutneys would be much appreciated.
CR will liaise with JF regarding flyer printing; he will also put up the usual signs.
CR asked for help in digging up the crops from “Keith’s Plot” on the morning of the Open Day.
Building on the success of the earlier Pruning Demonstration Denise
Beckley has agreed that Andy Klecha can use her trees for the follow up session.
This will be on Saturday 9th August at Rosedale Road and starting at 10.00am.
The focus will be on apple, pear and cherry trees.
Summer pruning encourages bud growth, winter pruning encourages leaf growth. It is essential that cherry or plum trees have finished fruiting before pruned.
