a recent issue of Spadework - Cardiganshire Horticultural Society

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
We belong to a thriving Society that’s underpinned with an
excellent committee and constant high membership numbers.
However, many of the Society’s members also belong to other
groups and societies, sometimes with interests similar to ours,
and this can present problems when organizing the CHS trips, as
our travel dates and destinations can clash with or duplicate those
of the other organizations. We all do some juggling to try to
accommodate each other.
The trips organized by our Society play an important part in its
activities, and in particular provide the opportunity to socialize –
something that is not very convenient at the end of a lecture
evening. The fixed cost of coach hire will be increasing due to
VAT and fuel increases, so the more of you who support the five-
day visit and the day trips, the more we can keep the seat prices
as low as possible.
The feedback forms sent out to members with the AGM minutes
will provide the committee with useful information that we can
hopefully use in decision making for future outings, so please
return these, anonymously if you prefer, to Secretary Dave
Hughes with your comments and suggestions. Be truthful! We
can take criticism!
I am personally looking forward to travelling with you on the
five-day visit to the Gardens of Buckinghamshire in June
(organized by Peter and Celia Gardner and Kate Beech) as well
as on the day trips that have been arranged for 2011 by John and
Sue Wildig.
So who’s got the coach travel song book, then?
