Helen Howard Writes:

Dear Members

I hope the start of 2026 is treating you well.  It is good to see the first signs of spring in our gardens.  Although, looking out the window at mine, is the closest I am getting to it at the moment!

This news item is to let you know we have our Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Saturday 31st January 2026 at 14:00 (2pm) at the Willis Hall, the small hall next to Crookham Memorial Hall, Sandy Lane, Church Crookham, GU52 8LD.

Following the AGM we will have Gardeners’ Question Time. Any garden queries you may have, no matter how large or small, we will try to help.

If you have any matters you wish to raise at the AGM, please let Helen know and she will add them to the agenda. This will be sent out next week.

The AGM is also a great opportunity to come along and renew your membership for the coming year.

We are hoping to arrange some talks later in the spring.  But firstly our shed is due to re-open on Saturday 21st February, 10:00-11:30 (10-11.30 am).  We will of course be in need of volunteers to help at the shed, as well as help on the show days.

SPRING SHOW – Saturday 21st March, War Memorial Hall, Church Crookham GU528LD

SUMMER SHOW –  Saturday 11th July,  Church Crookham Community Hall, Boyce Road, Church Crookham GU528AQ

It would help us greatly if you could let Helen know if you are planning to attend the AGM.

I look forward to seeing you soon
Happy Gardening

Helen Howard
