Downland Gardening Club

Downland Gardening Club
 
The Downland Gardening Club, which is for anyone in the Downland Villages of Brightwalton, Chaddleworth, Leckhampstead and Fawley, would warmly welcome new members. Meetings are usually held in each of the villages in turn.
 
The Club is a very friendly and informal group, usually meeting on the 3rd Monday of each month at 7.30. with time for a raffle, chat, coffee and biscuits. Past programmes have included talks on bats, country crafts and canal boat painting as well as many varied gardening topics from experienced speakers. There are garden visits and both Winter and Summer Socials. Even if you have no garden or are unable to garden there is so much to enjoy.
 
Annual subscription is £10 but if you wish to make a trial visit, the charge is £2. Whether you are new to the villages, have been here for ever and thinking of coming but never quite made it, you will be warmly welcomed.
 
The Winter Social will be on Friday 16th February at 7PM in Chaddleworth Village Hall. As always, there will be a delicious hot meal of cottage pie, vegetarian options, cheeses, and scrummy deserts. Tickets will be £10 including a free glass of good wine. There will be a short fun quiz if you wish to join in. No need to be a member to attend.  Please call Lea on 01488 638 488 or email lea.naples@motionlink.co.uk for info. or tickets. If you do not have transport we will try to help you to come along for a most enjoyable evening.
 
 
The first main meeting of the club will be on Monday 19th March at 7.30 at Leckhampstead Village Hall when Tom Stone will talk on Hardy Geraniums.
