W.I. Hall, The Street, Crookham Village, GU51 5SJ

Available will be tea/coffee/squash with biscuits.

As usual there will be a raffle. This should prove to be a very interesting and informative evening.
David Standing gave us a fabulous talk last year on Gilbert White gardens. This talk on ‘the pleasure of weeding’ is a light-hearted look at the job we love to hate. Honestly, it could be a game changer for many of us. David will have tips, tools and techniques on this back breaking chore.
He will include practical methods on how to speed up the process with time and money saving tools. Helen adds, I will definitely be attending, as I need all the help I can get! Please let others know, who you think may find this interesting, all are welcome. The charge is minimal as we only want to cover our costs.
