The association is hoping to hold a Christmas quiz on Friday 10th December 8pm at the top room Tyrells Hall Club.
It will be free to enter and there will be prizes for the winners and the last place team.
Usually teams of four, with family and friends welcome.
You are welcome to bring nibbles, to go with drinks purchased from the bar downstairs.
This year we are asking you to bring in two horticulture based questions and answers in per attending person.(to be given to the quiz master)
Therefore a team of four will bring in eight questions and answers, a team of three six.
if you cannot get a team together we can match up people to create a team on the night
If you are interested in coming can you please email me with numbers, so we can assess the interest in running it?
Best wishes

Broad Beans and garlic can be planted now, also while it is mild spring cabbage and cauli. If you see clusters of white eggs especially when uncovering ground after winter, destroy them as they will be snails’ eggs.
