Join us for the fourth edition of our social supper evening. We are offering sausage 'n' mash with onion gravy followed by apple crumble with custard. As before there will be soft drinks and a fun garden themed quiz.
We reopen the Trading Store with a ‘Potato Day’ when there will be 10% discount on all seed potatoes plus advice on which varieties to choose and how to grow them. To keep you warm, we will be serving free leek and potato soup while supplies last. It's also a great opportunity to renew your membership for another year.
Make a note on your calendar to come along to the second coffee morning of 2020. Let's see if we can make it a record turn out. This is also an ideal opportunity for you to renew your membership.
