Horticultural Society: Andrew Halstead will speak to the Society today (Friday) on Wasps and Bumble Bees. The meeting starts at 2.30pm in the Village Hall, and we are assured of an interesting talk. If you haven’t thought of joining the Society yet, now is the time! As well as a variety of interesting talks through the winter months, there are Spring and Autumn Shows and a huge Plant Sale in May, and membership entitles you to discount in many local nurseries and suppliers. The Spring Show will be on 28th March, so time to start planning!
