Manor Hall Gardening and Social Club
The Manor Hall Gardening and Social Club meets on the first Monday of the month, except when there is a Bank Holiday when it is held on the second Monday, from October to June inclusive at the Manor Hall from 2 to 3.30 pm.
At most meetings we have a speaker, often illustrated, on a variety of gardening topics and various aspects of the countryside and environment. Meetings always end with tea/coffee and biscuits and a chance to chat!
In the summer months we hold coffee mornings/afternoon teas at members’ homes and sometimes have outings to local gardens.
Everyone is welcome - a charge of £2 per person is made , which includes refreshments.
Over the festive season, we have lunch at a local venue.
