Newsletter, September 2021
Saturday 4 September 2021: Annual Show. Village Hall.
We
are planning to run the annual show as normal, subject to the
constraints of Government rules at the time. Members wishing to exhibit
(and we hope lots of you will do) can use their unused schedule from
last year or failing that contact Alison Peedell on 730961 or by email
to alisonpeedell@hotmail.co.uk and request a show schedule. The schedule
is also available on this website. It would be very useful, if those
intending to exhibit could notify Brian Peedell so we can make early
preparations.
Harrogate Autumn Flower Show: 16-20 September.
Following
the cancellation of the Harrogate Summer Flower Show Holiday, we have
secured an alternative option, that being the North of England Autumn
Flower show held between 17-19 September. A number of members have
signed up for this trip, but some already had alternative arrangements
We have plenty of spare seats if you are interested. Telephone Brian
Peedell on 730961 for further details.
National Memorial Arboretum
This
coach outing will take place on Tuesday 19 October 2021. The coach will
depart from Manor Grove at 0800hrs, calling at bus stops through the
village. The cost is £27.00p, which includes coffee/ tea on arrival and
a ride on the land train. Places can be booked with the treasurer
on 01865 730961, or by email to brianpeedell@gmail.com.
Since
the official opening twenty years ago, the Arboretum has grown into an
inspirational living landscape where families, friends and comrades can
celebrate lives lived and remember lives lost. Nestled in woodland
landscape is a collection of nearly 350 memorials, each with a story
waiting to be discovered.
Whilst visiting the National Memorial Arboretum you will have chance to experience these symbolic, thought-provoking memorials and featuring a diverse range of wildlife.
