The Early Summer Show on 3 July in Trinity Baptist Church upstairs in the Baines Hall (to some extent dependent on Step 4 of the Covid roadmap going ahead as planned), open to the public at 2.30pm.
The Annual Show in Bellingdon Village Hall on 4 September (open to the public at 2pm).
Subject to Covid guidelines at the time the Hort Soc is planning to run the following events:
If we are unable to run the Plant Sale 22nd May from the Village Hall due to Covid restrictions we will be again offering plants via email, as we did in May 2020, and if any members, who have not previously supplied their email address, would like to be included they should contact Mike Allenby on mikeallenby@btinternet.com.
With regret the Hort Soc have cancelled both the Annual Show in September and Social in October. It would just not be possible to run these events and adhere to government guidelines for indoor events.
Committee members had started growing from both plugs and seed before the lockdown started so had expended a fair amount of time and effort in the growing.
We decided, therefore, to circulate a list of plants via email to members that we had emails for, with instructions to pay either by direct transfer or cheque/cash though my door. We took over £160 after our costs, so not bad at all.
Social distancing was observed of course when delivering plants and the various growers delivered their own to minimise committee members’ contact too, so a good effort by all concerned.
Huge thanks to our members for your continued support in these difficult times.
