The Last [Garden] Post.

Sadly the weather was set against us for the last group gardening Saturday of 2015.  Below is a very positive message from our Gardening guru, Andrew.  To add a little context this is the last of a series of emails between various members of the committee who were agonising over whether or not to cancel.

The weather won although, ironically, this afternoon would have been terrific. Ho hum, such is the life of we children of the land.  

Andrew said,

" Hi all sadly I feel I must agree with you.
 I am hoping to escape this afternoon and do the hollow tyning as I have arranged with Ross for the machine (£40!)
Yes let's send out a message to the members saying that the gardening morning is cancelled and that we would like to thank everybody for their support this year which has made such a difference and of course to all those who helped with the lawn mowing. And that we look forward to even more support from the membership next year and look forward to seeing as many as possible on the first Saturday in February - 2016!! "


AJ in disguise


So, there we have it no more pleasant Saturday mornings pretending to know what we are doing until February 2016.  It sounds a long way off but it is not. Meanwhile watch out for the various social events already in the pipeline being planned for your delectation even as I type.  Be there or miss out, you know it makes sense.

A BIT LATE DOT COM... SORRY........




Pull on your wellies, wrap round your scarves and come to the tennis club next                 Saturday the 7th November for the final gardening session and a BBQ.

Having spent a few hours pottering in our lovely secret garden, mowing, pruning and gathering leaves you can then relax with friends around the BBQ and enjoy tasty food to round off the season in style. 
Bring a flask and some change (donations greatly appreciated for the food) and have a giggle... If it's pouring with rain this sadly will not happen! 

See you there,
Jayne and the committee.
