SNITTERFIELD GARDEN CLUB


Annual General Meeting and Show Report 2007

Well done to everyone who endeavoured to enter "something" in the Produce Show. It really was a brilliant start to the gardening year to have so much enthusiasm and interest and was by far the best attended ever. We were delighted to welcome the many new members and particularly Agnes Penrice whose standard of produce has set a new challenge. Brian Cook, the judge, remarked the standard of flowers were the best he had seen this year.
The children made an excellent effort
achieving wonderfully creative results which made the judging extremely difficult. A special well done to you all!

The Chairman in her speech stressed the success of the Gardening Club was without doubt due to the enthusiasm and support from the members. During the year the Club has enjoyed some of the best speakers on the gardening circuit and the coming year's programme is equally stimulating. Membership is only £8 a year, which is outstanding value
After several years Derek Bull has resigned as treasurer and we thank him for his tremendous contribution to the club. Peter Turner has volunteered to fill his place. Jacquie Maiden was also elected on to the committee. The committee were unanimously thanked for their organisation and work throughout the year
