Members and their friends much enjoyed meeting the Committee and each other at last year’s AGM, so we have decided to repeat the experience.
Come at 12.30 if you would like to join us again for a buffet lunch or at 2pm if not. The AGM will be swiftly followed by the presentation of the prizes for the Photographic Competition and the keynote talk by Caroline Holmes, Garden Historian, Designer, Lecturer, Broadcaster and Author.
She will speak on The interwar Years - from Grand Manner to Henry Moore.
