HUTTON RUDBY GARDEN CLUB
SUMMER PROGRAMME 2012
THURSDAY 26 APRIL
HARROGATE FLOWER SHOW by COACH
Leaving the Post Office at around 9am for a full day at the show, arrive back Hutton Rudby around 5pm. Let the coach take the strain! A group booking reduces the cost of entry to £13.50. Final cost including coach should be available at our January meeting on 18th Jan at which it will be possible to secure your place on the trip for a deposit of £10 per person. Places are obviously limited by the size of the coach. George Reid is organising this trip. You can contact him on 700035 or by email: gdbreid@hotmail.com
WEDNESDAY 13 JUNE at 2pm
VISIT TO LITTLETHORPE MANOR, RIPON by CAR
Eddie Harland, Head Gardener and Designer of the lovely gardens at LIttlethorpe Manor is our speaker on 14th March when he will tell us about the development of the gardens. Our visit will be guided by Eddie himself and we will have access to all areas of the garden followed by tea/coffee and cake. The cost of the visit is £10. Reserve your place on this trip at the March or April meeting – full cost payable at that time. There is parking for 10 cars behind the stable block and further parking in the centre of Ripon which is close by. Please try to organise car sharing. We are very pleased that we will be joined on this visit by members of Osmotherley Garden Club. Contact for this visit: Sue on 700477 or sinclair.sue@gmail.com
WEDNESDAY EVENING in JULY – date to be finalised
SUMMER SAFARI
Our annual summer stroll around the gardens of club members will take the form of a safari, on foot or by car, this year. The usual format with a glass of wine at the final garden. Details to follow.
DIAMOND JUBILEE EVENT – SATURDAY 2 JUNE – VILLAGE GREEN
OUTLINE ARRANGEMENTS ARE NOW CONFIRMED
We are going to hold a BRING AND BUY CHARITY PLANT STALL.
Over the next few months please pot up whatever you can for the Garden Club stall – seeds, veg, divisions, cuttings. Please label and indicate colour of flower, if appropriate. Plants can be delivered ahead of the event to Sue Sinclair at Highfield, West End, or on the day to the Village Green. Help with manning the stall for half hour stints would be appreciated. We will fix a rota nearer the time.
Contact: any committee member
This formula has worked well for us in the past – we hope it will be as successful this time.
