At our AGM in November 2024, we considered ways to encourage new visitors and members. After discussions, it was decided to make a slight change to our name, on a trial basis, to 'Broadstone Gardening Club'. The previous name, 'Broadstone Horticultural Society', has sometimes been perceived to be an elitist organisation that may not welcome those new to gardening. Whilst we have always been proud of our friendliness to new visitors and our 'Friendly Gardening' subheading, we are happy to trial the new name.
If you have any thoughts or observations on the new name, or suggestions on encouraging visitors and new members, please contact us at bhs-show@outlook.com
Our members only Christmas party will soon be here.
We're delighted to welcome Pippa Thurgood of the Land Girls to entertain us. Members are requested to bring a plate of savoury or sweet food to share. Wine and non-alcoholic drinks will be provided.
We don't hold the usual table competition at the Christmas party. There will be a special charity table competition with just five classes instead of the usual eight. Everyone is invited to have a go in each class. After the supper, judging takes places with a 20p donation made for your favourite entry in each class. The donations are added up and the winner of each class will be decided by the highest donation. All the monies raised will be donated to a local food bank. After our 2023 Christmas party we made a donation of £40.
Christmas table competition classes:
