Annual General Meeting
Wednesday 10th November
There was a good turn-out of members for the AGM, to hear short summaries of the Societies activities, with the full reports being emailed to members. Chairman, Mike Kingsford, gave a resumé of a very positive year, in spite of the pandemic. Zoom had enabled us to enjoy an interesting programme of talks, before meetings reverted to the Hall in September.
Membership had held up well, with a welcome number of new members joining.
Mike thanked the large number of members who had helped with the Annual Show, exceptionally successful, in terms of both the number of exhibits and their quality, as were the Spring and Autumn Flower Competitions.
Lesley West introduced the variety of talks booked for next year’s meetings; trips and garden visits are being held in abeyance, pending the outcome of the Members Survey currently in progress.
The 3 officers of the Society, Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer, were voted in unanimously for another year, as were the 3 other committee members who stood again.
The meeting voted to increase the annual membership fee to £10 person and the meeting entry fee for visitors to £3.
Annual Buffet Supper
planned for Wednesday 14th July
Unfortunately, coronavirus restrictions meant the Supper had to be cancelled this year.
It was replaced by a Zoom meeting with a talk “Italy from Seed to Plate” to whet our appetites.
