Programme
Activity Programme
We are an active group, with get-togethers every month except August, January and February. We meet on the third Thursday of the month from September to June, at Lammack Methodist Church. All meetings start at 7:30pm. Attendance at the meetings is free for members of the Society. Visitors are warmly invited to attend, for a fee of £2 per session.
We hold a plant sale annually, usually in May, to raise funds for the club. All members are encouraged to grow plants to donate to the sale. During June and July we generally arrange local garden visits and a coach trip to a prominent garden.
