SPRING NEWSLETTER 2025

ALL MEETINGS ARE AT BIDEFORD METHODIST CHURCH HALL, HIGH STREET, BIDEFORD EX39 2DQ.

PLEASE NOTE - WE WILL BE LOOKING TO HAVE A NEW VENUE FOR 2026 UNLESS THE HALL IS AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC USE AFTER IT IS AUCTIONED.

SECRETARY'S NOTES

We are now back to monthly meetings with the Summer months now reverting to 7.00pm, half an hour earlier and Winter months at 2.30pm. The 2025 AGM agreed to restart the regular meetings and to have some trips to places of interest following a good attendance at the AGM with more new members and added interest in restarting events.

 

See Meetings and Trips for more details. PLEASE NOTE - DUE TO THE NATIONAL BEGONIA SHOW AT SHREWSBURY being cancelled by Shropshire Horticultural Society for 2025 their show is moved to Southport Flower Show 14th to 17th August and clashes with our orignial date. As I have to attend as Show Manager it mean I can be at home to organise our event so we are now 1 week earlier. On Sunday 10th August 2025. Dates for 2026 to be announced

For 2025 the next AGM will revert back to December and will be in conjunction with our Christmas Lunch at The Crealock Arms, Littleham and may be include a minibus trip as transport or we can arrange car shares.

Best regards,     

Mike Avis, Secretary & Editor.
