In <strong>No</strong>vember’s Newsletter, we were delighted with the continued<br />
summer weather but we’re definitely in mid-winter now!<br />
We had a fun end to<br />
our 2018, with two<br />
special Christmas<br />
events: one in crafts<br />
and the other making<br />
a wreath or garland,<br />
some of the fabulous<br />

Big News! A New Look Show Schedule!<br />
Some of you may have already received your copy of our ‘new look’ Show Schedule and<br />
Handbook. We hope you enjoy having a browse through and start planning what you<br />
can enter into the Spring Show in early April. The Westfield Shows are incredibly<br />
special with their variety and range of entries. Mark the date in your calendar and<br />
whether you are entering (go for it!) or admiring the talents of others, make sure you<br />
come along.<br />
Although the Shows are at the heart of the Horticultural Society, there is so much more<br />
with an activity or event almost every month and flower workshop evenings, there is<br />
something for everyone and everyone is welcome.<br />
Important News<br />
This is the fourth year Catherine Collingwood has been our Chairman, but she will be<br />
standing down at the AGM in October. The committee who plan and prepare for the<br />
events are an enthusiastic bunch of people who meet together regularly. If you are<br />
interested in joining the committee or would like to try it out for size, get in touch and<br />
come along to one of the committee meetings and see what we get up to.<br />
